Question
What should be done if a 7-year-old girl has an earache with yellow pus drainage and a low fever?
Answer
Children with middle ear infections can be treated with symptomatic antibiotics. After culturing the ear secretions, anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used according to the test results. For severe ear pain, it is recommended to use appropriate painkillers. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is advisable to seek surgical treatment as soon as possible. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
