Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 year old, recently, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How can otitis media in children be treated effectively if the ears are painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, for children with obvious ear pain symptoms. Pain-relieving medication can be given if the child also has a high fever. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
