Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 3 years old. Over the past week, she has been constantly tugging at her ear, complaining of itching. Additionally, the earwax has become somewhat thick and yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in her ear. She also has a slight fever. How should we treat her yellow earwax and otitis media?
Answer
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can also use regional medications, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, you can give them painkillers. If the child has a fever, you can administer some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and mainly consume liquid foods.
