Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. Recently, he said his ear hurts. In the morning, I found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is for parents to give their child anti-inflammatory medication, or they can use local treatments. For example, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used on the child. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures.
