Question
Dear Baby, just 1 year old, this week, the child has been tugging at their ear, saying it itches, and occasionally, yellow fluid has been discharged. Additionally, there is a headache and fever. How should one treat otitis media in children with yellow fluid in their ear?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, appropriate antibiotics can be used for treatment first. In severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. For ear pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. If there is a high fever, antipyretic medication can be used as needed. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with light and nourishing food, and to enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
