Question
How should a child with otitis media and yellow discharge be treated effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, along with regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. Some children may have a fever, and oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical treatment and undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, with liquid foods being the main choice.
