How should my child's otitis media with yellow discharge be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 7 years old. Recently, he has had a bit of ear pain, and I noticed that there is occasionally yellow fluid leaking out. He also seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge?

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If your child experiences ear pain, you can also give them some pain relievers. If your child has a high fever, you should use fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if your child experiences serious conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, prompt treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
