Question
How should one treat a child with otitis media and yellow ear discharge?
Answer
For children suffering from otitis media, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for symptomatic treatment. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. If the child experiences ear pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. In cases of fever, antipyretic drugs can be used as needed. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is required. At the same time, attention should be given to a child’s light diet and increased nutritional supplementation to aid in a quicker recovery.
