Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 1 year old. These days, the child says her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is yellow earwax discharge, and the ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever. How should we effectively treat an earache in children with middle ear infection?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Regional medication treatment can be chosen, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious earache symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If the child also has a high fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently commonly used for treating middle ear infections. In addition, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
