Question
My daughter is 5 years old, and in recent days, she has been saying that her ears hurt, and occasionally, there has been a yellowish liquid discharge. Additionally, she has headaches and fever. How should we treat children’s otitis media with ear itching for the best effect?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. Consider regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops and administer pain medication as needed. If accompanied by high fever, select medication based on the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, pay attention to staying warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
