Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax has been leaking out, and at the same time, her ears are buzzing, and she has a slight fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child experiences severe ear pain, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered or immediate hospitalization is advised. In case of a ruptured eardrum, the child should be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
