Question
My baby has redness in the ear canal, but it’s not painful or itchy. The condition has been treated with injections for several days without success. The doctor suggests surgery, but the baby is too young. I am inquiring about non-surgical treatment options.
Answer
You can use sensitive antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin drugs for treatment, and continue for 7 days. At the same time, pay attention to rest and keep bowel movements smooth. You can use hydrogen peroxide to clean the external auditory canal and drop ofloxacin ear drops. If there is no purulent infection within 2 months, consider undergoing tympanic membrane repair surgery.
