Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, he has been complaining of ear pain. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge from his ear. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is very weak. Please advise: How should I treat otitis media with ear itching in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can be administered, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, and children with ear pain may also receive pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These are the more common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a perforated eardrum, medical treatment with surgery is required. In daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during treatment.
