Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old this year. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: What are the effective treatments for middle ear infection and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When a child has severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can also be used in moderation. If the child also has a high fever, pain relievers can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a eardrum perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the condition recover as quickly as possible.
