Patient's question:
A little girl, only 5 years old, has been scratching her ears recently and complaining of itching. She has noticed that yellow earwax is coming out, and at the same time, her ears are buzzing, and she has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent earache symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and daily routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
