Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, in recent days, the child has told me that their ear is a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there’s a buzzing sound in the ear. The child also has a slight fever. How should ear pain in children with otitis media be treated?
Answer
Here are the treatment methods for pediatric otitis media:
- Parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medications, such as ear drops.
- In cases of ear pain, painkillers can be administered to the child.
- If there is a fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the fever is very high, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
- If the child has a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment and surgery are required.
- The child should ensure adequate rest during treatment and consume more vegetables and fruits. These are the treatment methods for ear pain in children with otitis media.
