How to Treat Itchy Ears in Children with Otitis Media

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax came out. At the same time, she also had some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, treatment can be administered by giving the child some antibiotics, which are quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures to prevent recurrent otitis media.
