Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and she’s pulling her ear, with yellow fluid and a buzzing sound in her ear. How should she be treated?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used appropriately. In cases of fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
