Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed yellow earwax discharge, and also had headaches and a fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, you can also take some pain relievers in moderation. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and focus on liquid foods.
