Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Recently, she has been complaining of ear pain and occasionally, there has been yellow fluid leaking from her ear. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should I treat her ear infection with yellow fluid in the ear?
Answer
When treating this type of condition, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or if there is already a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be carried out. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let your child engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
