Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. It has been noticed that there is yellow earwax coming out, and her appetite is poor, and she also feels uncomfortable in her throat. Please advise: How should middle ear infection and itchy ears be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Local treatment can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a high fever, appropriate antipyretic medication should be used. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If a child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible.，。
