Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. This week, his ears have been a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and it seems like he has no appetite and is very weak. 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, and you can also perform local treatments. For example, you can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for children to treat the condition. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you may consider giving pain relievers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms do not improve, you must seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
