Question
My son is 9 years old and has been experiencing some ear pain recently. This morning, the earwax was yellowish and somewhat thick, and he also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s middle ear infection with yellow discharge for the best results?
Answer
The treatment of a child’s middle ear infection can involve symptomatic medication, such as local ear drops for inflammation. To alleviate severe pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In case of severe symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child has a perforated eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. It is recommended to take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to daily preventive healthcare measures.
