Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in elementary school. This week, the child said he had ear pain, and occasionally there was also yellow fluid discharge. Additionally, there were accompanied symptoms of headache and fever. Question: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms, administering anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention immediately. Otitis media is prone to recurring. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, it should be treated promptly. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help speed up recovery.
