Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. This week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was occasionally yellow liquid leaking out, and his appetite was also poor, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear itching be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat otitis media effectively, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with severe ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications should be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
