Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a little painful. Additionally, there is occasional yellow liquid discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it treated for otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medications can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is advised that parents give appropriate pain relievers to ease the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
