Question
Dear team, my son is just over 3 years old. In recent days, he has told me that his ear hurts a bit. This morning, I found that the earwax is purulent and somewhat yellow. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. How should I treat his ear infection with yellow discharge?
Answer
When treating this kind of disease, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops to treat the child, such as in cases where the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge are severe. It is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek immediate medical treatment. If there is a risk of tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and mainly consume liquid foods.
