Patient's question:
Female, seven years old, often has sticky earwax. Uses cotton swabs to remove it for a while, then it comes back.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is yellow discharge from the ear, which may indicate an infection. If milk gets into the ear, it can also lead to bacterial infection. It's best to disinfect the baby's ear. Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used for this. It's recommended to wait and see. If there is no yellow discharge, there's no need to worry. If the yellow discharge continues, it may be a sign of otitis media. It's advisable to visit an otolaryngologist.
