Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears hurt a little. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she hears buzzing in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat itchy ears from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is necessary. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
