Question
How should one treat a child’s otitis media when the ear discharges yellow fluid?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, the primary measure is to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and regional treatment options can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child experiences severe ear pain, appropriate painkillers can be used. If there are symptoms of fever, antipyretic medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media often has a recurrent characteristic, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical attention should be sought. During the treatment period, it is recommended to have a light diet, focusing mainly on liquid foods.
