Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 4 years old and has been complaining of ear pain recently. This morning, there was a lot of very yellow earwax, and she also had a low-grade fever. What are the best treatment methods for a child with yellow discharge in the ear?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For obvious cases of ear pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken; if the high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. In addition to medication, if severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
