Question

My son is 6 years old and has had a bit of ear pain recently, with occasional yellow fluid discharge and a buzzing sound in his ear, along with a slight fever. How should we effectively treat his otitis media with yellow discharge?

Answer

The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using appropriate medication based on the child’s symptoms, including systemic medication as well as regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, consider administering a moderate amount of painkillers and taking antipyretics as needed. In case of severe illness, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, especially if there are severe symptoms like perforation of the eardrum, which may require timely surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
