Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there is sometimes yellow fluid flowing out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can alleviate inflammation symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the child's primary symptom is ear pain, parents may consider giving appropriate pain relief medication. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child experiences a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help expedite recovery.
