Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he seems to have poor appetite and low energy. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If a child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If the child also has high fever, pain relievers can be taken on a case-by-case basis. 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. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early for their children, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
