Question
My 6-year-old son has been complaining of itchy and painful ears this week. He also has a yellow discharge, lacks appetite, and feels weak. How should I treat his ear itching caused by middle ear infection for the best results?
Answer
Treatment should involve administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and can be combined with regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If there is severe pain, painkillers can be used in moderation. If there is a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is recommended to seek immediate medical treatment and surgery. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to assist in a quick recovery.
