Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used according to the symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated promptly. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
