Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 2 years old and has been constantly tugging at her ear recently, saying it itches and there is yellow earwax coming out. She also has a slight fever. How can I treat my child’s middle ear infection pain?
Answer
The most common treatment for middle ear infections is antibiotic medication, which can be selected according to the situation. At the same time, regional treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, a moderate amount of painkillers can be administered. If there is a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medicine, but if the fever does not subside, medical attention should be sought promptly. If severe symptoms occur, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
