Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, in recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish liquid discharge, and it seems that he has no appetite and feels very weak. Question: How should otitis media in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment is also possible, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
