Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and the ears were buzzing. There was a low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, to treat the condition. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, parents are advised to administer appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child also has a high fever, painkillers can be given as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgery should be performed in a hospital. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
