How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children

Patient's question:

My male child, 4 years old. Lately, he has had some ear pain. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a perforated eardrum, hospital treatment, including surgery, is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
