Question

How should children with otitis media that discharge yellow fluid be treated?

Answer

The treatment for pediatric otitis media includes administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, using topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment, and providing pain relievers as needed for ear pain. If fever is present, fever-reducing medications can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. In cases of repeated acute severe symptoms or if there is already a perforation in the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be conducted. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
