Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. Also, he noticed that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and his ears were buzzing. Additionally, he had a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferable.
