Patient's question:
Boy, who is 6 years old, this week, the child told me that his ears are a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Additionally, there are some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic use of anti-inflammatory drugs can be applied. Parents can use topical ear drops for inflammation for local treatment. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used appropriately. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a eardrum perforation, medical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
