Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears. What could be the cause of redness and swelling near the ears in a child aged four or five?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be a localized infection, which refers to the pathogen invading the body and establishing itself in a specific location, growing and reproducing, producing toxic substances. It is recommended to start antibiotic treatment via intravenous administration as soon as possible.In your case, it might be chronic pharyngitis, often accompanied by hypertrophy of the posterior pharyngeal follicles. You can try taking a decoction of bitter wine orally or using commonly used herbs like Qingguo (Chinese olive) or Fenghuangyi (Phoenix Fruit Shell) for decoction, which may have a certain effect.
