Children with otitis media can't hear clearly, how should they be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 3 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. It was noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, it seems like he has no appetite and is very weak. Question: If a child with otitis media cannot hear clearly, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is important to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
