Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. This week, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid leaking out. At the same time, she also has a headache and fever. I would like to ask: How should earwax otitis media be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. For children with severe ear pain, analgesic drugs can be used. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions such as a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
