Question
My son is 7 years old. This week, he said his ear itched and hurt. Additionally, he occasionally had yellow fluid coming out, and he also seemed to have little appetite and was quite tired. How should I treat my child’s ear infection and itchy ear?
Answer
If your child has an ear infection, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used, along with local treatment such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If your child has a fever, you can give him fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible, and pay attention to maintaining good hygiene in diet and ensuring adequate rest. If complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, seek medical attention promptly.
