Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 9 years old, and for the past few days, she has been complaining of itchy and painful ears. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has a lack of appetite and a sore throat. How should we treat the itching in a child’s ears with otitis media effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor for their child to relieve inflammation symptoms. Regional drug treatment can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be applied. If the child has severe ear pain, painkillers may be suggested. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent attacks. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
