Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain. We’ve noticed a large, yellow discharge from her ear, accompanied by headaches and fever. How can we effectively treat a child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to treat their child and alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments can be conducted, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and painkillers can be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when there is severe ear pain. If fever is present, parents can give fever-reducing medication, and in serious cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. The aforementioned methods are common treatments. If the child shows symptoms of perforated eardrum, timely medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. It is advisable to maintain a light diet habit in everyday life, and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
