Question
My son is 9 years old. Lately, he has been complaining of itchy and painful ears. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. He also seems to have little appetite and feels weak. How should I treat my child’s itchy ears due to middle ear infection?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can also use local anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child also has a high fever, some fever-reducing medicine can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely surgical treatment. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, bring their children for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work in daily life.
