Question
My daughter is 3 years old. After starting kindergarten recently, she has been experiencing ear pain, itching, and yellowish discharge from her ears, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I handle this?
Answer
For children with ear infections, parents can first administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and then complement this with regional treatments, such as appropriately using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain and yellow discharge become more severe, it is advisable to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a high fever, the choice of medication should be based on the child’s condition. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, and if there is a perforation in the eardrum, immediate medical treatment and surgery are suggested. Finally, it is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child for early medical treatment, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
