Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old. These past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. Upon noticing, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child has otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a high fever, you should use fever-reducing medication accordingly. If it is serious, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly have a liquid diet during the treatment period.
