Question
Dear parents, my 4-year-old daughter has recently been experiencing yellow earwax discharge, ear pain, a buzzing sound in her ear, and a slight fever. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
According to the child’s symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered, and at the same time, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for localized treatment. For severe symptoms such as ear pain with purulent discharge, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment and surgery may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
