Question
My son is 7 years old. This week, he’s been experiencing some pain in his ear. I noticed that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow, and he also has headaches and a fever. How should I treat his ear itching in children for the best results?
Answer
The treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms, providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. At the same time, regional treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early as otitis media has a tendency to recur. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
