Question
How should mucus in a child’s ear infection be treated?
Answer
The treatment method should involve administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered. For ear pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be sought. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
