Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a little sore. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears were buzzing. He also had a low fever. I ask: How can otitis media in children, where they can't hear clearly, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment is also possible, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When a child's ear pain is severe, a moderate amount of pain relieving medication can also be used. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
