Question
A 9-year-old boy recently experienced itchy ear pain, discharge of yellow fluid, decreased appetite, and throat discomfort. How can we diagnose and treat the condition of yellow effusion in children with otitis media?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media includes oral anti-inflammatory medications, regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops, and the administration of painkillers if necessary. In cases of high fever, temperature control is required. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is needed. If an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is necessary, and attention should be paid to a light diet, increased nutrition, and promotion of recovery.
