Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 6 years old, have been scratching their ears recently. They have been saying that it's itchy. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out. At the same time, it seems that they have no appetite and are also weak. Please ask: How to treat middle ear infection and itchy ears in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, they can also take some pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is serious, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a eardrum perforation, they should go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and focus on a liquid diet.
