Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. This week, the child mentioned that her ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please advise: How is otitis media with ear itching treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. In cases of ear pain, parents can also give their children pain relievers. If the child has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication or taken to the hospital immediately. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment at the hospital. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurrent otitis media.
