Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. In recent days, he has complained of ear pain, and occasionally, there has been yellow fluid discharge from his ear. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is feeling weak. How can I treat his pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge effectively?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with regional treatment methods such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly, and if an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
