Question
Dear Baby, she is only 4 years old, and for the past few days, the child has been constantly tugging at her ear, saying it itches. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, she seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should one treat a child’s middle ear infection with yellow discharge?
Answer
When treating such diseases, it is recommended to give the child some antibiotics that are appropriate for the symptoms, and also to combine them with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is suggested to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. Parents need to pay attention and take their children for medical treatment early on, and pay attention to preventive health care in their daily lives.
