Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and her ears have been a bit painful recently. She has a lot of yellow earwax, has no appetite, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should I treat my child’s middle ear infection with yellow earwax?
Answer
Generally speaking, for children with middle ear infections, it is recommended to administer antibiotics, which usually yield good results. You can also use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment, especially when the ears are painful and there is a purulent discharge. It is advisable to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms, and if there is severe fever, appropriate antipyretics should be used. If the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, such as surgical treatment for perforated eardrums. Parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children to the doctor for timely treatment. At the same time, pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
