Question
My child, who is 5 years old, is experiencing some pain in the ear and occasionally discharges yellow fluid. They have poor appetite and discomfort in the throat. How can I effectively treat my child’s otitis media and yellow discharge from the ear?
Answer
For the treatment of such conditions, appropriate antibiotics can be administered to the child based on their symptoms, along with local anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation; if there is a fever, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. If the situation does not improve, medical assistance should be sought. In case of severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment should be sought, and attention should be given to ensuring the child gets ample rest and increases their intake of fruits and vegetables.
