Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt, and there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he had some low fever. Please ask: How should we treat the child's middle ear infection and itchy ears?Doctor's answer:
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is for parents to give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there is a condition like a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment for the child may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
