Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This week, he said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, I found the earwax to be purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, his ears were buzzing, and he had a slight fever. Please ask: How should itchy ears due to otitis media in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, and the effects are quite good. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child also has a high fever, medications should be used based on the symptoms. In severe cases, it is crucial to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there is a possibility of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures during daily life.
