Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been complaining of a slight earache lately. This morning, there was some thick, yellow earwax, and he also seems to have little appetite and feels weak. How should itching in children’s ears with otitis media be effectively treated?
Answer
For a better treatment of otitis media, one can choose some symptomatic medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, or use regional medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. For children with obvious earache symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child is accompanied by severe fever, some antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. In addition, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life, and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
