Question
Dear reader, our little boy, just over 1 year old, has been experiencing ear pain for the past week. There is also yellow earwax discharge, a buzzing sound in the ear, and a slight fever. How should we treat the itchy symptoms of children’s otitis media?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used, with symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, which has shown good effects. In severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. If ear pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, antipyretics can be administered or immediate medical attention should be sought. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child to a doctor early, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
