Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. These days, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. It was noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, there is also some 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 medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has perforated, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
