Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 5 years old. This week, the child has been scratching their ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
