Does the baby have otitis media, and do you need to see a doctor?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, I took her for a bath. After coming back, there were no abnormal signs. This morning, while feeding her milk, I noticed yellow discharge coming from her left ear. Is it possible that it's due to water entering her ear?

Doctor's answer:

Conditional culture of pus and perform drug sensitivity tests. Select antibiotics based on test results, either orally or intravenously.
For the ear locally: If the pus is large in amount and thick, use hydrogen peroxide for cleaning, then apply sensitive antibiotic ear drops.
