Question

How should otitis media with yellow discharge in a one-year-old girl be treated?

Answer

The current treatment approach primarily involves using antibiotic medications, selecting the appropriate drugs based on the symptoms. Concurrently, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops and painkillers. If there is a high fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, pay attention to rest, and avoid fatigue.
