Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. This week, the child's ears are a bit sore. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Also, there is a buzzing sensation in the ears, and there is a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media, characterized by ear fullness and pain, be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's a child with otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, attention should also be paid to providing the child with a light diet and strengthening nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
