Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit sore. In the morning, some yellow earwax has been leaking out, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should we treat a child's middle ear infection if they can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
