Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, I noticed the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and at the same time, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat otitis media in children when they have ear pain?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate doses of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. Finally, we hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Daily, attention should also be paid to relevant prevention and health care measures.
