Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. In the past few days, the child told me her ears are a bit painful, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with ear itching in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain in the ear can also be treated with pain relievers for children. If the child also has high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
