Question
How to treat a child’s ear infection with drainage? My daughter, who is only 6 years old, has been experiencing some pain in her ear lately. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she also seems to have little appetite and is rather weak.
Answer
The treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms and include symptomatic medications, along with regional treatments such as using antiseptic ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be taken according to the symptoms, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are common treatments. If the child shows symptoms of perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
