Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also doesn't have a good appetite and feels uncomfortable in her throat. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with itchy ears in children well.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be administered based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be given as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to proper preventive measures to avoid a recurrence of otitis media.
