Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. This week, she has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for their children. For children with severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a punctured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the hospital for treatment as early as possible. Daily preventive and health care measures should also be taken.
