Patient's question:
Boys, already 4 years old, recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. It has been noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he also has a headache and a fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media and itchy ears in children.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if a child's condition is severe and develops a eardrum perforation, hospitalization and surgical treatment are necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with additional nutrition, with a diet that is primarily light, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
