Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. Recently, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also had some low-grade fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, they can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Multiple acute episodes or eardrum perforation should be treated with surgical intervention in a timely manner. Finally, parents should pay attention to this condition, take their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also focus on relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
