Question
Dear parents, our 8-year-old daughter has been scratching her ear recently, complaining of itching and yellowish earwax discharge. She also has a headache and a fever. We would like to know how to treat childhood otitis media with ear itching.
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be chosen according to the situation. Regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, can be combined. Painkillers can be administered for severe ear pain, and some children may have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In cases of severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. Pay attention to a light diet and nutritional supplements to help your child recover quickly.
