What should ear inflammation do?
What about baby ear inflammation? Does ear inflammation need antibiotics? About 80% children suffer from ear-related diseases, most of which are otitis media. Most of them do not need antibiotic treatment. Sometimes the doctor will judge whether ordinary care still needs medication according to the situation. For children between the ages of two and twelve, antibiotics are usually recommended only when acute otitis media is diagnosed or the symptoms of infection in children are very serious. If the situation is not so serious, the doctor may suggest washing the ears with some medicine, and then observe for a day or two to see if the situation has improved. Now more and more experts call for careful use of antibiotics. As more and more bacteria begin to develop drug resistance, although people continue to develop new drugs to kill bacteria, the ability of virus mutation is getting faster and faster, so the therapeutic effect of drugs is not always very effective. Therefore, parents should avoid using antibiotics every time their children have an ear infection. If doctors prescribe drugs, they should give them in strict accordance with the will. On the one hand, they can treat them thoroughly, and on the other hand, they can slow down the variation of virus resistance. However, if the child's symptoms are not relieved after two or three days of medication, or accompanied by symptoms such as fever, he should see a doctor again immediately. The doctor will readjust the medication according to these conditions, or consider giving the child antibiotic treatment. How to alleviate children's symptoms? You can wash your ears with warm water and then gently squeeze them with a cotton swab dipped in water. When the child sleeps, raising the child's head a little can relieve a little pain. However, it should be noted that a pillow that is too high and too soft can easily cause children to suffocate, so it is best to put something under the pillow instead of using a big pillow. The child always gets otitis media, is there any method to prevent it? 1. Keep children away from smokers, because tobacco will increase their chances of infection. Parents had better not smoke at home to keep the family environment fresh. 2. Wash your hands often and educate your children to wash their hands often. Although otitis media is not contagious, the bacteria that cause otitis media can make children sick. So keep your hands clean to prevent bacteria from entering your ears. And don't let children near people who are already sick. Teach children to keep their nasal cavity clean and reduce the growth of bacteria. If children often suffer from otitis media due to colds, they can get flu vaccine. But consult your doctor before vaccination. It should be noted that repeated otitis media will not only make children feel uncomfortable and affect their healthy life, but also may damage their inner ear organs and cause hearing damage.
