Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a little painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax flowed out, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should my child's otitis media with ear itching be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when the ear pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, medication should be used based on their symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. During this time, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
