Patient's question:
What is the reason why the doctor's child has a cold and fever and then complains of ear pain?Doctor's answer:
This situation requires active inspection to confirm that everything is fine. It should be considered whether it is caused by inflammation or other reasons. Hello, it is likely otitis media, so it is recommended to see a doctor promptly. Rest in bed and receive symptomatic treatment. Sulfonamides and antibiotics can be used for anti-inflammatory purposes. Before the eardrum perforates, 2% to 5% phenol glycerin can be used for ear drops, three times a day, with three to four drops per time. If the earache is severe, the eardrum is bulging, or the perforation is too small, and pus discharge is difficult, surgical myringotomy can be considered. After the eardrum perforates, 3% boric acid water or 3% hydrogen peroxide can be used to rinse the ear first, and then one type of ear drop can be selected, such as 2% phenol glycerin, 2.5% chloramphenicol glycerin, 1% to 2% gentamicin, or 1% cinnabar solution, etc. At the same time, 1% ephedrine can be used for nose drops to promote pharyngotympanic tube inflammation and unobstructed flow, facilitating middle ear drainage.
