Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. Recently, she has been saying that her ears hurt. Additionally, yellow earwax has been coming out, and she also has some low fever. Please ask: How should we treat her middle ear infection with itchy ears?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be used based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with pronounced ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be applied. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child has a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods.
