Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, has started elementary school. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears were buzzing, and he had a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and there is a perforation of the eardrum, hospital treatment may be required. During the treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
