Question
My son is 1 year old. Recently, he has been complaining of ear pain, and occasionally, there is also yellow fluid discharge. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can give your child some symptom-specific antibiotic medications, and also combine them with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms of ear pain and yellow fluid discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever along with the condition, parents can give the child some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child is well-protected from colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
