Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. I noticed some yellow earwax coming out, and she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should I treat my child's middle ear infection if she can't hear clearly when someone speaks?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local drug treatment can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some analgesics based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
