Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow liquid discharge. Additionally, she has a headache and a fever. Question: How should the treatment for otitis media with itchy ears be carried out?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain relievers can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the child gets enough rest and avoids fatigue.
