Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, is in elementary school. Lately, his ears have been a bit sore, and yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, he has a headache and a fever. Question: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with ear itching in children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can also use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain-relieving medication to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement the child with nutrients and maintain a light diet. Additionally, adequate rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
