Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Lately, she has been complaining of ear pain, occasionally with yellow fluid coming out, a buzzing sound in her ear, and a slight fever. How should I treat her otitis media with drainage effectively?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers may be appropriately administered. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is required. It is also important to pay attention to giving the child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
