Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. In the past few days, the child has said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, he has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be administered. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesic medication should be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
