Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. Recently, the child has said that his ears hurt. Upon observation, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, there is some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear hurts a lot, you can also give them some pain-relieving medication accordingly. If the child has a fever along with the infection, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and a eardrum perforation occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to proper measures to prevent the otitis media from recurring.
