How to diagnose and treat ear itching in children with otitis media

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 1 year old. Lately, the child has said her ears hurt. Upon checking, the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with ear itching in children.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children, or pain relievers for ear pain. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medications should be used. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is essential to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid food during the treatment period.
