Question
My child has had otitis media caused by a cold, and after a week of taking fluids, there is no improvement. What should I do?
Answer
The treatment for purulent otitis media typically involves the use of antibiotics, which can be administered orally or by injection. In some cases, a tympanotomy may be necessary to drain the pus from the middle ear. If the condition is uncertain, it is recommended to consult a professional otorhinolaryngologist for more accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
