Question
My son is 5 years old and has been scratching his ear and has yellow discharge from his ear recently. He has no appetite and feels weak. How should children with otitis media and yellow discharge be treated?
Answer
Treatment should include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, considering regional treatments such as ear drops. Pain relief medication can be used for ear pain, and medication may be administered based on the situation if there is a fever. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly, and surgery may be necessary. Pay attention to a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods during treatment.
