Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. In recent days, my child told me that his ear is a bit painful. I noticed that there is some yellow earwax coming out, and at the same time, his ear is buzzing, and he has a slight fever. Please ask: How should the middle ear infection with itchy ear be treated better.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on the child's condition, pain relief medication can also be administered, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
