Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started preschool. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax and has a low fever. Please ask: How should we treat middle ear infection if the child cannot hear clearly?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 medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is advised to use pain relief medication to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help promote early recovery from the illness.
