Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally, yellow fluid has been leaking out. Additionally, there has been some low-grade fever. Question: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesic medication can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplements to help promote early recovery.
