Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Lately, her ears have been a bit painful, and in the morning, the earwax has become a bit thick and yellow. She also seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should I treat a child’s ear infection with yellow discharge?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If fever symptoms are present, antipyretic medication can be taken, and if there is a high fever, please seek medical attention as soon as possible. In severe cases, if an eardrum perforation occurs, hospital surgery may be required. During treatment, it is important to replenish nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest, avoiding fatigue.
