Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and says they are itchy. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a little yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further symptoms due to cold exposure.
