Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, you can give them some pain relievers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medications. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a eardrum perforation, surgery is required at the hospital. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
