Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. Recently, she told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How is it best to treat pediatric otitis media with itchy ears?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor, as this can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medication treatment can be used, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's primary symptom is ear pain, it is advisable for parents to administer mild analgesics to provide relief. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, timely hospitalization for surgical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the child's immune system and prevent recurrence.
