Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain with yellow fluid discharge, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What treatment options are available for pediatric otitis media?
Answer
For the treatment of otitis media, anti-inflammatory medications can be used under medical guidance, along with regional treatments such as ear drops. For ear pain, analgesics may be considered, and if fever is present, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication should be used. In case of persistent fever, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In severe cases such as perforation of the eardrum, emergency treatment is required. Parents should strengthen protection and prevent recurrence of otitis media.
