Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is occasional yellow fluid discharge, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Question: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and they can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has already occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
