Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, he has been experiencing some ear pain. I noticed that his earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and there's a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a slightly low fever. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat my child's otitis media when he can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with pronounced ear pain, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
