Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt, and in the morning, yellow earwax was discharged. Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How is otitis media treated when children can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local drug treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If high fever accompanies the symptoms, medication should be used based on the child's condition. In severe cases, please seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if a eardrum perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
