Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Lately, his ear has been a bit painful, and I’ve noticed that sometimes yellow fluid comes out. He also seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, it is advisable to select appropriate medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. While taking these medications, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be administered. If the child experiences ear pain, painkillers can be given. If the child has a particularly severe fever, some antipyretics should be used in moderation. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
