Question
My son is 3 years old, and this week he has been experiencing some pain in his ear. In the morning, there is a large amount of yellow earwax, and he also has a lack of appetite and a sore throat. How should we treat the yellow earwax in a child with middle ear infection?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used in moderation, and regional treatment can be provided with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be given in moderation; if accompanied by a high fever, consider antipyretic medication. If the situation is serious, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, immediate surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
