Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Also, he seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media ear pain in children.Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is more severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the symptoms are mainly ear pain, you can consider giving some pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
