How to Treat Ear Pain from Otitis Media in Children

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, the child said he had ear pain, noticed that there was yellow earwax leaking out, and the ears were buzzing. Also, he had a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat ear pain caused by otitis media in children.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, treatment can be given to the child with some antibiotics, which is relatively effective. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
