Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, she seemed to have little appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition worsens and develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with abundant nutrition, and the diet should primarily consist of light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
