Patient's question:
My male child is 2 years old. Recently, he told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and his ears were buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with ear itching in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. During the treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. It is also important to get plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
