Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 2 years old. These days, she has been complaining about ear pain. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Moreover, she seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. How should I treat her ear infection with yellow fluid in the ear effectively?
Answer
To treat a child’s ear infection, parents can first give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is severe, they can also complement it with some regional treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, they can also be given some painkillers. If the child has a fever, they can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, immediate hospital surgery is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
