Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. Recently, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. I noticed there's a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he has a headache and fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear itching be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication, or local medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a ruptured eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgery promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
