Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 years old, these past few days, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sound in her ears and a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media and ear itching in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local medication treatment is also possible, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is advisable to use pain-relieving medication in moderation. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing drugs. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.Apart from these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
