Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. Upon examination, there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear itching in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medications to consume, or they can also use local treatments, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is important to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
