Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Lately, he has been saying that his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. His ears also have a buzzing sound, and he has a slight fever. How should one treat a child’s ear infection with itchy ears?
Answer
If a child has an ear infection, it is first advisable to use some antibiotic medications to treat the symptoms. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. If the main symptom is ear pain, some painkillers can be considered. At the same time, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is a high fever. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
