Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 2 years old. This week, she has been complaining of itching and pain in her ear. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow, and she has a low-grade fever as well. How should I treat her ear infection if there is yellow fluid in the ear?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child is experiencing ear pain, some painkillers can be administered. If the child has a particularly severe fever, some antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the recovery period, and mainly consume fluids.
