Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. Recently, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. Also, I noticed the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media in children with itchy ears?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatment can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to choose some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever at this time. In this case, oral antipyretic drugs can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and strengthen nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
