Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten. This week, she told me her ear was a bit painful. I noticed the earwax was a bit thick and yellow, and she also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s ear infection and ringing ears effectively?
Answer
If a child has an ear infection, it is advisable to use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. You can also combine it with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, you can also give some painkillers in moderation. If the child has fever symptoms, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be performed. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
