Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 5 years old. This week, the child told me her ears hurt a bit. She noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she had some low-grade fever. Please ask: How to treat ear pain caused by otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammation symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used in moderation. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a ruptured eardrum, hospital surgery may be required. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
