Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 years old. This week, he told me his ear was a bit painful. This morning, I noticed the earwax was purulent and slightly yellow, and there was a buzzing sound in his ear. He also had a low fever. How should we treat his ear infection and itchy ear effectively?
Answer
For a better treatment of middle ear infection, it is recommended to choose some medication with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, regional treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child has fever symptoms, he can take antipyretic medication. In serious cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is suggested to go to the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, also pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work.
