Patient's question:
Boy, already 7 years old. Recently, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, it seems he has little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with itchy ears be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures for their children to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
