Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 7 years old, this week, the child said that his ears are itchy and sore. He noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and it is accompanied by a headache and fever. Please 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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatment can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication under consideration. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
