Question

My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and this week her ear has been a bit painful. She occasionally has yellow fluid discharge from her ear in the morning, has a poor appetite, and feels tired. I would like to inquire about the treatment methods and effectiveness of nasal discharge in children with otitis media.

Answer

In terms of treatment, it is recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child as instructed by the doctor, and regional treatments can be supplemented, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be given in moderation. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate surgical treatment is recommended, along with reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to aid in a quick recovery.
