Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears, saying they itch. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and the ears were buzzing. There is also a low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the right anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication may be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a ruptured eardrum, surgery may be required at the hospital. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurring middle ear infections.
