Question
A 7-year-old boy recently complained of itchy and painful ears, with yellow earwax and low-grade fever. What treatment methods are effective for pediatric otitis media with yellow fluid symptoms?
Answer
One of the common methods for treating otitis media is the use of antibiotic medications, and regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered. For the main symptom of ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be given or medical consultation can be sought. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is advisable to consume light and easy-to-digest foods, with a focus on liquid foods.
