Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. This week, he said his ear hurts, and there is yellow fluid in his ear, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should I handle the situation of my child having an ear infection?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, you can consider giving your child antibiotics, along with using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to consider giving painkillers. If there is a high fever, you can use antipyretics in appropriate amounts. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is advisable to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, rest more, and avoid overexertion.
