Patient's question:
Boys, already 5 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt, and there was also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens and results in a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
