Question
Dear Team, My son, who just turned 3, has been complaining of ear pain for the past few days. Additionally, there is yellowish earwax discharge, and the ear has a buzzing sound. He also has a slight fever. How should I treat his ear infection with earwax and pus?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, along with local treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. If fever is present, parents can give fever-reducing medication. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of severe complications such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
