Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old, these past few days, the child has said his ears hurt. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid leaking out, and his appetite is also not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media (middle ear infection) ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, it is also advisable to use pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used judiciously. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital will be necessary. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
