Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on the symptoms. A bacterial culture of ear discharge can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used according to the test results. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If high fever accompanies the condition, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical attention and undergo surgery promptly. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
