Question
My daughter is only two years old, and this week, she has been constantly pulling her ear, saying it itches. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and yellow. She also seems to have little appetite and looks weak. How should one treat yellow earwax in children with middle ear infection?
Answer
If a child has a middle ear infection, symptomatic treatment can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory drugs or regional applications, like using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child experiences significant ear pain, painkillers can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple occurrences of severe acute middle ear infections or if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be considered. In everyday life, attention should be paid to light and healthy eating, and during treatment, mainly liquid foods should be consumed.
