Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax was flowing out, accompanied by a slight fever. Question: How to treat ear pain caused by otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if a fever is present, you can take fever-reducing medications. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
