Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. Recently, she has been complaining that her ears are itchy and painful. Upon examination, I noticed that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow, and she also has a humming sensation in her ear and a slight fever. Please advise: How is it best to treat her otitis media with an itchy ear?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be administered. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
