Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I'm wondering if something has gotten into their eardrum, causing damage.Doctor's answer:
The ear canals of infants and young children are narrow and have thin skin, making them prone to injury and bleeding. However, it is generally not easy to damage the eardrum. In your child's case, it is important to seek medical attention at a hospital's ophthalmology department as soon as possible for a checkup of the ear canal and for disinfection to prevent infection.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases have a significant impact on patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment at a specialized hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be performed appropriately, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope your child can recover quickly!
