Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. It has been noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, her appetite is poor and she feels sore throat. Question: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given 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, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital should be performed promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
