Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he also has some low-grade fever. I am asking: How should I treat my child's middle ear infection with ear?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics should be given. If high fever accompanies the condition, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital should be sought promptly. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
