Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Recently, she has been experiencing itching and pain in her ears, along with yellow earwax discharge. Moreover, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. I would like to know how to treat middle ear infection in children with yellow earwax.
Answer
It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms. Regional drug treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If ear pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be used appropriately. Fever can be treated with antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible, such as for symptoms like perforation of the eardrum, which may require surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle to help the child recover as soon as possible.
