Question
My son, who is 1 year old, has been experiencing a bit of ear pain this week. Additionally, there have been occasional discharges of yellow fluid, and his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. What is the best way to treat his otitis media with yellow fluid discharge?
Answer
Antibiotics are one of the commonly used medications for treating otitis media, and regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be chosen for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by high fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought immediately. In case of severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
