Question
My son is 6 years old. Lately, his ear has been a bit painful, and there is also yellow earwax coming out. Additionally, he has a buzzing sound in his ear and a slight fever. How should we treat the yellow effusion in a child’s ear infection?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, or use regional medication, such as applying an anti-inflammatory ear drop for the baby. If the child has a lot of pain in their ears, you can also give some painkillers in moderation. If the child has a high fever, then you should consider using antipyretic medication. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child’s condition becomes severe and there is a perforation of the eardrum, hospital surgery may be required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
