Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that occasionally, there is also some yellow liquid leaking out. Additionally, there are some low-grade fever symptoms. Please advise: How to treat otitis media with ear fullness and pain 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 treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
