Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 1 year old. In recent days, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax was coming out, and the ears were buzzing. A little fever as well. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the child's middle ear infection and ear pain?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in combination. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, take the child to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
