Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit sore, noticed, found the earwax is purulent, a little yellow, and it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be diagnosed and treated in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for healing. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it requires timely surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light and simple foods. Rest is also crucial to avoid fatigue.
