How to Handle Itchy Ears in Children with Middle Ear Infection?

Question

Dear Baby, 3 years old, has been complaining of itchy and painful ears recently. There is yellow earwax in the ear, poor appetite, and discomfort in the throat. How should one handle the symptoms of pediatric middle ear infection?

Answer

For pediatric middle ear infection, symptomatic medication can be used, including regional ear drops for inflammation, and painkillers if necessary. If accompanied by a high fever, appropriate medication should be chosen based on the symptoms, and in severe cases, medical treatment should be sought promptly. If complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, immediate medical attention is required. Parents should take precautions to prevent recurrence of middle ear infection.
