Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, these days, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media in children be treated if they can't hear clearly?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a problem with a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light food. Rest is also important, and fatigue should be avoided.
