Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt, and there was also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications, or use local medications. For example, they can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also administer appropriate analgesics. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
