Question
A four-year-old boy has an itchy and painful ear, yellow discharge, poor appetite, and an uncomfortable throat. How can one effectively treat a child’s ear infection with yellow discharge?
Answer
For otitis media, anti-inflammatory medications and local treatments such as ear drops can be used. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered, and if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early, and if there is a perforation in the eardrum, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work.
