Question
How should children with otitis media and itchy ears be treated for the best effect?
Answer
When children have otitis media, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for symptomatic treatment. Parents can use antiseptic ear drops for local treatment. When children experience severe ear pain, they can also take a moderate amount of painkillers. If accompanied by a high fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child develops an eardrum perforation, timely medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures in daily life to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
