Question
My 9-year-old son has recently been experiencing ear pain and itching, with yellowish discharge and a slight fever. How should I handle the treatment for his otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
Consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, and apply topical anti-inflammatory ear drops locally. If ear pain is the primary symptom, you can use pain relievers in moderation to alleviate the discomfort. If there is severe fever, you can use fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, common treatment methods for otitis media include tympanic membrane perforation surgery, and parents should take precautions to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
