Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 5 years old. Lately, she has been complaining of ear pain, and this morning, there was yellow earwax discharge. She also seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should we treat a child’s ear infection with yellow discharge?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. You can also complement this with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child’s ear pain. If the child has a particularly severe fever, some antipyretic medication can be used in moderation. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a risk of perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, focusing mainly on liquid foods.
