The ear pain and pus discharge suggest you may have an ear infection, such as otitis media or otitis externa. Because of the discharge, it is crucial to have a doctor examine your eardrum before putting any drops in your ear, as some drops can be harmful if the eardrum is torn. A doctor may prescribe safe antibiotic ear drops (such as ofloxacin) or oral antibiotics (such as amoxicillin) to clear the infection. For better pain relief, you can try an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen alongside paracetamol, if safe for you to take. Please consult a healthcare professional promptly for a proper physical exam.

Do not start antibiotics on your own, even if your child has a persistent cough and fever that does not improve. Most coughs and fevers in children during the cold season are caused by viral infections, and antibiotics do not work against viruses. Using them unnecessarily can lead to side effects and antibiotic resistance. Instead, consult a pediatric specialist for a detailed evaluation.

Bacterial infections may cause scars on the face, especially if the infection damages the deeper layers of the skin or if the area is scratched or squeezed. Consult a dermatolist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

For a minor cut or small bacterial infection, healing can be quick if you keep the area clean and prevent further irritation. First, wash the wound gently with mild soap and water, then apply an antiseptic solution. You can use an antibiotic ointment or cream if advised by your doctor to help it heal faster.

Recurring yeast and bacterial vaginosis infections happen when the natural balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina is disturbed. This can be caused by hormonal changes, tight clothing, or scented products. To prevent them, keep the area clean and dry, wear cotton underwear, avoid douching or perfumed soaps, and eat probiotic-rich foods like curd or yoghurt. See a gynecologist for proper treatment and to check for underlying causes.
