Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. Lately, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and his appetite is also not good, his throat feels uncomfortable. Question: How is it best to treat hearing loss due to otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain-relieving medication according to the situation. If the child has a fever, you can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt medical treatment is necessary. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
