Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, has been complaining of ear pain recently. He has noticed that occasionally there is also a yellowish liquid discharge, accompanied by some low fever. The question is: How can otitis media with ear itching be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking them to the hospital. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
