Patient's question:
Daughter, currently 6 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and her appetite was poor too. Her throat also felt uncomfortable. Please ask: If a child with otitis media cannot hear clearly, how should it be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, children can also be given pain relievers. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
