Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and she has been tugging at her ear and saying it itches for the past few days. This morning, I noticed yellow earwax coming out, along with a slight fever. How should I effectively treat my child’s ear infection with discharge?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be chosen as appropriate. In addition, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If fever is present, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In case of serious conditions, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. It is also important to pay attention to providing the child with a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover sooner.
