Patient's question:
Boys, already 9 years old, recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. He noticed that occasionally there was also a yellowish fluid leaking out, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated for the child.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is significant, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media tends to recur, and if there is a perforated eardrum, prompt medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate nutrition, with a diet that is light and easy to digest. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
