Question

My daughter is 3 years old and just started kindergarten. Recently, she has been feeling ear pain, with yellow fluid coming out of her ear, has no appetite, and feels very tired. How should I treat her otitis media with yellow discharge?

Answer

To effectively treat a child’s otitis media with yellow discharge, it is advisable to choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, and regional treatments can include the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take their child to the hospital immediately. In case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
