Question
Dear Baby, she is only 2 years old. This week, the child said her ear hurts, and there is a lot of yellow earwax. Moreover, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should I treat the child’s ear infection with earwax and pus?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor for the child to use, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. They can also be supplemented with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. If accompanied by fever, parents can give fever-reducing medicine. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurrent attacks, and if there is a perforation in the eardrum, medical attention should be sought promptly. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate the symptoms.
