Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. This week, the child told me her ear is a bit painful. Additionally, she found that her earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How can otitis media with itchy ears be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, or local medications can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be considered. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
