Question
How should one treat a child’s otitis media with yellow effusion?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of severe ear pain, analgesics can be appropriately administered. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication, but in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Perforation of the eardrum requires timely surgical treatment. At the same time, attention to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits can help the child recover sooner.
