Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. Recently, she told me her ear is a bit painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she has a headache and a fever. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with ear itching in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for their children. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also take pain-relieving medication as needed. 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. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the hospital for treatment as early as possible. Daily, it is also important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
