Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 5 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and she also had poor appetite and a sore throat. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications or take them to the hospital immediately. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurring, and if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
