Patient's question:
Boy, already 7 years old, in recent days, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How to treat conductive hearing loss due to otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children. These can help relieve inflammatory symptoms and can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication treatments, if a child's condition is severe and results in a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further aggravation of the symptoms due to cold exposure.
