Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 9 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and there is a buzzing sensation in his ears. He also has a low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How can otitis media in children be effectively treated when the ears are itchy?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic relief. Bacterial culture of ear can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek timely surgical treatment at the hospital. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to a doctor for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
