Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish fluid discharge. Also, it seems like he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with itchy ears be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets an ear infection, they can first use some antibiotics that are suitable for the symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In serious cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, prompt medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
