Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit sore. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and his ears are buzzing a bit, with a slightly low fever. Please ask: How to treat children's otitis media when they can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advised to visit the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
