Patient's question:
My male baby, he's 1 year old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. I noticed that there's a lot of yellow earwax, and he also has a buzzing sound in his ears. He has a slight fever as well. Could you please advise on how to treat his middle ear infection if he can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptom-relieving antibiotics. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on your child's condition, you can also give them pain relievers, especially when they have severe ear pain, to help alleviate the discomfort. If your child also has a high fever, you can consider giving them fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid a recurrence of otitis media.
