Question
How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended that children under medical guidance use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, which can be supplemented with regional treatments such as ear drops. If ear pain is severe, analgesics can be used appropriately. For fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be considered. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a perforation in the eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
