Boy baby, just turned 3 years old. In the past few days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. Noticed some yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, accompanied by low fever. Question: How should otitis media with itchy ears be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications for the child's symptoms, or it can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as ant-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
