Question
Dear Baby Girl, she is only 6 years old, and this week she told me her ear was a bit painful, the earwax was slightly yellowish, there was a buzzing sound, and she had a low fever. How should I treat my child’s ear infection with drainage?
Answer
If a child has an ear infection, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication or topical ear drops can be used for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, a moderate amount of painkillers can be taken; if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In serious cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If symptoms of perforated eardrum occur, immediate surgical treatment should be sought, along with a light diet and increased nutritional supplements to promote recovery.
