Question
My son is 4 years old, and his ears have been a bit painful lately. There’s a lot of yellow earwax, and he hears a buzzing sound in his ears. He also has a slight fever. How should I treat itchy ears and otitis media in children?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional medications, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, can be used. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of severe conditions with perforation of the eardrum, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible. It is advised that parents pay attention to this condition and take their child for medical treatment promptly. At the same time, related preventive and health care work should also be paid attention to in daily life.
