Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. He noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use 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 relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a perforated eardrum, timely hospital treatment is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
