Question
Dear reader, my daughter is only 2 years old. This week, she has been constantly tugging at her ear, complaining of itching. In the morning, she occasionally has yellow fluid draining from her ear. Additionally, she has headaches and fever. How should we treat her ear infection and ear itching?
Answer
The treatment method should be based on the child’s symptoms and provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. You can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, you can also administer appropriate painkillers. If there is a fever, use antipyretic medication in appropriate amounts. If the situation is serious, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, pay attention to supplementing nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
