Question
What should be done if a child has otitis media with mucus discharge?
Answer
For children with otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with local treatment using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s specific condition. In severe cases, seek medical treatment promptly, especially if there is a perforation in the eardrum. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
