Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. In recent days, the child has been experiencing some ear pain. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also seems to have a poor appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, timely hospital treatment is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
