Question
Dear parents, my 8-year-old daughter recently complained of itchy and painful ears, with yellowish earwax discharge. She has a reduced appetite and is feeling weak. How should we handle this situation?
Answer
For such conditions, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be administered, along with regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be used for ear pain, and antipyretics can be taken if there is a fever. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. Parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment at an early stage, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
