Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Lately, his ear has been a bit painful, and occasionally, yellow fluid has been discharged in the morning. Additionally, his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and also consider regional treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, you can consider giving painkillers. If there are fever symptoms, you can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical treatment and surgery promptly. I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
