Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been saying his ears hurt recently, with occasional discharge of yellow fluid and a low-grade fever. How should we treat the itchy ear symptoms caused by pediatric otitis media?
Answer
For the treatment of otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, such as topical anti-inflammatory ear drops; painkillers can be used for ear pain; and antipyretics can be administered if there is a fever. In case of severe conditions, seek medical attention promptly, and timely surgical treatment may be required for perforated eardrums. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical attention early, and pay attention to preventive and health care measures.
