Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old. In the past few days, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How can children with otitis media, who can't hear clearly when speaking, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be applied, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be chosen. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be given. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is essential to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
