Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. Recently, she told me her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she's not eating well either, with a sore throat. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media in children with itchy ears?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily relies on antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical intervention should be performed in a timely manner.，。
