Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. These days, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. I would like to ask: How should otitis media in children be treated when they cannot hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, and local treatment can also be performed. For example, children can be treated with anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it should be treated promptly. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
