Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 1 year old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sensation in the ears, slightly feverish. Please ask: How should otitis media with itching in children be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media, the primary approach involves the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and they have shown good effectiveness. Local treatment options include the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child experiences severe ear pain, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In cases of severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery are necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
