Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, she seems to have little appetite and feels weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can consult a doctor and select some anti-inflammatory medications under their guidance. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you may consider giving pain-relieving medications. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately. The methods mentioned above are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
