Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 1 year old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow. Also, it seems that he has little appetite and feels weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some analgesics based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as eardrum perforation, timely treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to exercise appropriately to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
