Question
How should one treat a child’s otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Parents can also use regional treatments with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is advisable to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
