Question
Dear Baby, she’s only 1 year old. These days, the child’s ear has been a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid coming out. Additionally, there is a headache and fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s earache and itchy ears?
Answer
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. Regional drug treatment can be chosen, and you can also opt for anti-inflammatory ear drops when there is ear pain. If the child is accompanied by a fever, parents can give the child some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there is a situation of perforated eardrum, it is necessary to receive timely medical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
