Question
Dear reader, my daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, with yellow fluid coming out of her ear, along with a buzzing sound and a slight fever. Could these symptoms indicate an ear infection, and how should it be treated?
Answer
For such cases, children can be treated with symptomatic antibiotic medications, along with local treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be administered for ear pain, and fever-reducing medications or immediate medical attention should be given if there is a fever. Ear infections are prone to recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. It is also important to pay attention to providing light meals and enhancing nutritional supplements to aid in a quicker recovery.
