Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and the ears were buzzing a bit, with a low fever. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for ear itching due to otitis media?Doctor's answer:
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be administered by using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, analgesic medication can be applied. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
