Question
My daughter is only 2 years old and has recently been experiencing yellow fluid coming out of her ear. She has lost her appetite and is feeling weak. How should I treat yellow discharge in a child’s otitis media?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment, and regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops may also be considered depending on the situation. If ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. If the condition is serious, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases with repeated acute symptoms or if there is already a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good health and ensure adequate rest time.
