Question
My child is 3 years old and has just started kindergarten. They have symptoms of otitis media with yellow discharge and ear pain, accompanied by a low fever. How should I treat it?
Answer
For the case of yellow discharge from otitis media in children, consider using regional treatment with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is severe or there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is advisable to visit a hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to the child’s diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover sooner.
