Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
