Question
An 8-year-old girl has recently complained of ear pain, with a lot of yellow earwax and buzzing in her ears, as well as a slight fever. Question: How should a yellow earwax in a child’s middle ear infection be treated effectively?
Answer
Symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. If the condition is severe, regional treatment can be considered, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. In severe cases where there is a perforation of the eardrum, medical treatment and surgery may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
