Question

How should children with a middle ear infection that produces yellow discharge be treated?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, along with regional treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If symptoms are severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve pain, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if fever is present. Severe cases should seek medical attention promptly. If symptoms of perforated eardrum occur, timely medical treatment and surgical intervention should be sought. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
