Question
Dear reader, our 2-year-old daughter has recently been experiencing ear pain. There is occasionally yellow fluid draining from her ear in the morning, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat her ear infection with earwax and pus?
Answer
The primary treatment for a child’s ear infection is to administer anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment can include anti-inflammatory ear drops, and for children with significant ear pain, painkillers may be used. If there is a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly, and if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
