Question
Dear Baby, currently 3 years old, in recent days, the child says that their ear hurts, and in the morning, there is yellow earwax discharge. Moreover, they seem to have little appetite and are quite tired. How should otitis media in children with itchy ears be treated?
Answer
Generally speaking, if a child has otitis media, it is advisable to administer some symptomatic antibiotics, which are usually effective. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. If the ear pain is quite severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely surgical treatment. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and bring their child for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to do well in related prevention and health care work.
