Question
My son is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing pain in his ear, with yellowish earwax discharge, as well as headaches and fever. How should I treat itchy ear in children with middle ear infection?
Answer
One common method for treating middle ear infections is the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the situation. Regional treatment can involve using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and appropriate painkillers can be administered for severe ear pain. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treatment. If the child shows symptoms of perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment and surgery should be sought. It is recommended that parents pay close attention to this disease, take their child to a doctor early, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
