Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he has been complaining of ear pain. Additionally, there is occasional yellowish fluid discharge, and he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please advise: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used appropriately. If it is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for surgery. During the treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to avoid aggravating the symptoms due to catching a cold.
