Question
My son is 2 years old. Lately, he has been constantly tugging at his ear, saying it itches. This morning, yellow earwax came out, along with some low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s muffled ear infection with pus?
Answer
For a better treatment of otitis media, it is recommended to choose some medication with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor. Regional drug treatment can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences pain in the ear, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child has a fever, parents can give the child fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. In cases where there is a perforation in the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and mainly consume liquid foods.
