Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 years old, these days, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Also, there is yellow earwax discharge, and his appetite is not good, his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media (middle ear infection) with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve symptoms. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence. If there is a eardrum perforation, timely treatment is necessary. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a balanced diet and daily routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
