Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. Recently, he said his ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please tell me: How should acute otitis media with difficulty hearing be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can take anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic treatment, and can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
