Patient's question:
Boy, already 8 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, it seems he has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, or it can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and they should also get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
