Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. These days, he has been telling me that his ear is a bit sore. I noticed that there is some yellow earwax coming out, and the ear feels buzzing. The child has a slight fever. How should I treat the itching in the child’s ear with otitis media?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child anti-inflammatory medication. You can also use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops, and you can also provide painkillers according to the child’s condition, especially when the ear is severely painful, which can help relieve the pain. If there are symptoms of fever, you can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgery as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to protecting their children to prevent otitis media from recurring.
