Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, I found the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Additionally, he has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment or provide analgesics based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to alleviate the suffering. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and rest schedule for the child to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
