Question
How should yellow discharge in children with otitis media be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media includes administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, performing bacterial culture of ear secretions, using anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the results of examination, and providing painkillers as needed, particularly when there is severe pain in the ear, which can help alleviate the pain. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought immediately, such as in cases of tympanic membrane perforation, which may require timely surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing children with reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to help the disease recover sooner.
