Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media, ear pain in children, be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to undergo timely surgical treatment. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
