Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 years old, recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is also poor, with a sore throat as well. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear itching be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, to treat the condition. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media tends to recur, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. It is advisable to follow a light diet during daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
