Question
Will a foreign object in a child’s ear damage the eardrum?
Answer
Infants have narrow ear canals and thin skin, making them susceptible to injury and bleeding, but it is generally difficult for a foreign object to damage the eardrum. If you notice your child frequently scratching their ears, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and undergo an examination of the ear canal. At the same time, disinfection should be performed to prevent infection. Children with otorhinolaryngological diseases may experience significant impacts, so it is recommended that patients visit a specialized department in a timely manner for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. It is appropriate for them to engage in moderate exercise in daily life. Be cautious to prevent heat-related issues, and wish your child a quick recovery!
