Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers as needed based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and there is a tympanic membrane perforation, hospital treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent further aggravation of symptoms.
