Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, already in elementary school. This week, the child told me that his ears were a bit sore. He noticed that occasionally there was also yellow fluid discharge. Additionally, he seemed to have little appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a eardrum perforation, hospital surgery is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
