Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has recently been tugging at her ear, with yellow fluid coming out and a buzzing sound in her ear, along with a low fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric otitis media is antibiotics, with appropriate medication chosen based on symptoms, which generally yields good results. Anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used, and for severe ear pain, painkillers may be considered. For those with high fever, medication should be used according to the situation, and in severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. Perforation of the eardrum requires surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to the disease and take their child to the doctor early, and pay attention to preventive and health care measures.
