Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten this week. She has been complaining that her ears feel itchy and painful. She noticed some yellow earwax discharge, and she also has a slight fever. Please advise on how to treat otitis media with difficulty hearing in children.Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used accordingly. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely treatment is required.，。
