Question
The baby boy is just over 1 year old and has been experiencing some pain and yellowish fluid in his ear recently. He has poor appetite and feels weak. How should we treat the child’s otitis media with purulent discharge effectively?
Answer
For such conditions, consider administering symptomatic antibiotic medication to the child, as well as regional prescriptions, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s ear pain is significant, painkillers can be used in moderation; if accompanied by a high fever, antipyretic medication can be considered. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is recommended to undergo surgery early on, while ensuring the child gets ample rest and increases the intake of vegetables and fruits.
