Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 8 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she hears a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: What treatment is effective for middle ear infection if the child cannot hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication may be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered, or they should be taken to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a eardrum perforation, surgical treatment at a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
