Question
A 9-year-old girl has recently been experiencing ear pain, occasionally discharging yellow fluid, accompanied by a slight fever. How should pediatric otitis media with yellow fluid be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, consider administering appropriate antibiotic medications to the child, while also undergoing regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences worsening ear pain and yellow fluid discharge, painkillers can be considered to alleviate symptoms. For cases with high fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the high fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, during the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
