Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 years old, recently, the child told me her ears are a little sore. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should ear pain from otitis media in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever reducers can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention is necessary. Otitis media tends to recur, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, prompt treatment is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
