Patient's question:
My daughter is 3 years old. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has some low fever. Please ask: How can ear infection with yellow earwax be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. They can also complement these treatments with local methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical intervention should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
