Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 3 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore. Noticed that there are a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, children can also be given pain relievers. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. Parents should also take precautions to protect their children to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
