Girl baby, only 3 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. Also, there's a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with yellow earwax be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, analgesic medications should be given as needed. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt medical attention is required. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child maintains a balanced diet and proper sleep habits to help the illness recover more quickly.
