Patient's question:
My male child is 3 years old. Recently, he has been complaining of ear pain. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also has some low fever. Please advise: How should middle ear infection with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. Local medication can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a eardrum perforation, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child at an early stage, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
