Question
My daughter is one year old, and recently she has been saying her ear hurts. When I checked, I found her earwax was purulent and a bit yellow. She seems to have lost her appetite and looks rather weak. How should one treat yellow earwax in a child with middle ear infection?
Answer
Consider using some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and at the same time, you can also perform regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used appropriately; if there are symptoms such as fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication should be taken. If the symptoms are severe, including perforation of the eardrum, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical attention as early as possible, and pay attention to daily prevention and health care work.
