Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. Additionally, he had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear is very painful, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
