Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. Recently, she has been complaining of ear pain. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid discharge, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever. I am asking: How should I treat her for otitis media with ear itching?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
