Question
Dear team, my son, who just turned 9, has been experiencing some pain in his ear lately. Additionally, I noticed that his earwax is purulent and a bit yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a slight fever. What are the effective treatments for itching in a child’s ears with middle ear inflammation?
Answer
If a child has middle ear inflammation, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with bacterial culture of ear secretions and the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the results of the examination. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly, such as for perforated eardrums and other serious conditions, which may require surgical treatment. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child to a doctor for early treatment, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
