Patient's question:
Boys, already 8 years old, this week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. Upon observation, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and the ears are buzzing, with a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing drugs. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
