Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 8 years old, this week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media, where children cannot hear clearly, be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, it may be appropriate to use fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
