Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 years old, these past few days, the child has said her ears are itchy and painful. She has noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has poor appetite and a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with itching in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions such as a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
