Question
How should one treat itchy ears in children with otitis media?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media includes administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, conducting bacterial cultures of ear secretions, using anti-inflammatory ear drops based on examination results, and appropriately administering painkillers if ear pain is severe. If there is a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or if there is already a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be considered. It is also important to arrange for a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the child recover quickly.
