Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. She noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. 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 based on the symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to babies. When the child's ear pain is severe, you can also use some pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please seek immediate medical treatment at the hospital. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment at the hospital promptly. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
