Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a little. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should you treat otitis media with itchy ears in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. These medications can also be used in conjunction with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, pain-relieving medication is advised to ease the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing drugs. In serious cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The methods mentioned above are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
