Question
How to diagnose and treat pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
It is recommended to choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms for the child. Conducting a bacterial culture of ear secretions and using anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results is possible. When the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be used in moderation. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to promote recovery from the disease.
