Question
My son is 3 years old, and recently he has been complaining of ear pain, with more yellowish earwax, and accompanied by a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media and ear itching?
Answer
When a child has otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with regional application of ear drops for treatment, choosing the anti-inflammatory type of ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If the child has a fever, you can give him antipyretic medication or seek immediate medical attention. 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 this disease and take their child to the doctor for treatment early on. Additionally, it’s important to pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
