Question
A 6-year-old girl has reported ear pain and has been found to have yellow pus in her ear, accompanied by tinnitus and low-grade fever. How should yellow effusion in pediatric otitis media be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered for treatment, along with local treatments such as ear drops. For cases with obvious ear pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication should be administered or immediate medical attention sought. In cases of tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment may be considered. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
