Question
My son is 9 years old. He’s been tugging at his ear recently and has yellow fluid coming out. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used. Use anti-inflammatory ear drops during regional treatment. If there are symptoms of ear pain, use painkillers in moderation to relieve pain. If there is a high fever, use medication according to the symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If perforation of the eardrum or other serious conditions are found, immediate medical attention is required. During treatment, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
