Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 8 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, with occasional discharge of yellow fluid. She has also shown a lack of appetite and fatigue. How should we treat a child’s mucopurulent otitis media?
Answer
Generally speaking, for children with otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be used, along with regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If accompanied by high fever, appropriate medication should be used based on the symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment is necessary. After recovery, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
