Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Also, noticed the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Additionally, there was a buzzing sound in the ears, a little fever. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with itchy ears in children for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can also be given, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is known for its recurrent nature. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
