Question
How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, antibiotic treatment is usually used to alleviate symptoms. In addition, regional treatments can be employed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and administering painkillers based on the child’s condition. Painkillers can help relieve severe pain in the ear. If the child has a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken; if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. In case of eardrum perforation, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
