Question
Dear parents, my baby girl is just 1 year old. These days, the child has been constantly scratching their ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, there is yellow earwax coming out, and they also have headaches and fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s ear infection and itching?
Answer
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, or consider regional treatment options, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the symptoms of ear pain and yellow fluid discharge are severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, then consider using fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods. Also, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
