Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. Recently, he said his ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged, and it was accompanied by some low fever. Please advise: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics, use topical medications, or choose anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, you can appropriately administer some analgesics. If it is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a punctured eardrum, immediate treatment is required. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the primary focus.
