Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Lately, her ears have been a bit painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sound in her ears, accompanied by a slight fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection and ear itching be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give painkillers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can also take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to provide your child with adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
