Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. In recent days, the child has said her ears are itchy and painful. She has noticed that yellow earwax is coming out, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local drug treatment can be selected, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge in children are severe, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media at present. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment promptly. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
