Question
How should one treat yellow effusion in a child’s ear with otitis media?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric otitis media in clinical practice is antibiotics, along with symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe pain, appropriate painkillers can be used. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, especially if there is a perforation of the eardrum. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
