My son is 1 year old. Lately, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Occasionally, yellow fluid has been discharged from his ear. At the same time, he has no appetite and his throat feels uncomfortable. How should otitis media with ear discharge be treated in children?
When a child experiences painful tonsillitis, symptomatic medication such as antibiotics or regional drugs, like tonsil crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar injections, can be considered. If fever is present, consider antipyretics, but seek medical attention promptly if the fever persists. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and rest.
