Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be applied for treatment. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advised to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their children to prevent recurring otitis media.
