Question
Dear parents, my son is just 5 years old and has been complaining of ear pain recently. This morning, I noticed yellow fluid coming out of his ear, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should we treat the yellow earwax in a child’s middle ear infection for the best results?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for the treatment of middle ear infections and can be chosen appropriately. Local treatment options include anti-inflammatory ear drops, and if the pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Middle ear infections are characterized by recurrent episodes, so if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During this period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
