Question
My daughter is 3 years old and just started kindergarten. Recently, she has had some pain in her ear and yellowish earwax has been discharged. She has also lost her appetite and a sore throat. How can we effectively treat middle ear infection with yellow earwax in children?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are one of the commonly used treatments for middle ear infections, and they can be chosen based on the symptoms. You can opt for regional medication treatment, such as selecting anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. If there is a fever, appropriate medication should be used based on the symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and avoid complications such as perforation of the eardrum. In addition to the above treatment methods, parents should regularly pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of middle ear infections.
