Question

How should one treat itchy ears in children with otitis media?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications tailored to the child’s symptoms, as well as regional treatment methods such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If ear pain is severe, painkillers can be administered appropriately. In cases accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the symptoms, and in severe situations, medical attention should be sought promptly. Common treatment methods for otitis media include surgical treatment for tympanic membrane perforation, during which it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and sufficient rest.
