Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one year old. Recently, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge. Also, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with ear itching in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. Pain in the ear can also be relieved with pain relievers. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child shows symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate hospital treatment should be sought. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
