Question
My daughter is 3 years old and just started kindergarten. This week, her ear has been a bit painful, and she occasionally has yellow liquid coming out. She also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat yellow earwax in children with middle ear infection?
Answer
If a child has middle ear infection, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with regional treatment such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. It is recommended to use painkillers in moderation based on the severity of ear pain. If there are fever symptoms, you can give antipyretic medication. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If more serious symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely hospital treatment is required. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with a reasonable diet and rest schedule to aid in recovery.
