Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. Recently, the child has had some ear pain. He noticed that occasionally there is a yellowish discharge, and the ears are buzzing. There is also a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication treatment can be administered, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relief medication may also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In cases of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help promote early recovery from the illness.
