Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 years old. Recently, the child said his ears itched and hurt. Additionally, there is some earwax that is thick and slightly yellow. Moreover, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with ear itching be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or use topical medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely hospital treatment and surgery may be necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
