Treatment Methods for Children with Mucus in the Ear

Question

What are the treatment methods for children with otitis media and mucus discharge?

Answer

For the treatment of this condition, children can be prescribed symptomatic antibiotic medications, along with some regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If fever is present, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly, such as in cases of eardrum perforation, which requires timely surgical treatment at a hospital. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
