How should pediatric otitis media be treated when it leads to difficulty hearing speech?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 6 years old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media in children be treated when they can't hear clearly?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When a child's earache is severe, pain-relieving drugs can also be used in moderation. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Otitis media is prone to recurring. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
