Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he has been experiencing headaches and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media in children, where they can't hear clearly, be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also take pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, we hope that parents can take this condition seriously, take their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
