Question
How should one diagnose and treat yellow discharge from a child’s ear infection?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric otitis media, administering antibiotics to the child is considered effective. If the condition is severe, regional treatments can be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be used in moderation. In case of severe conditions, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
