Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. In the past few days, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish fluid discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How can ear itching due to otitis media in children be effectively treated.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
