Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Upon observation, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media in children if they can't hear clearly when speaking?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, including local medication, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
