How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boys, who are already 5 years old, these days, the child told me that his ears are a bit sore, and he noticed that occasionally there is also some yellow liquid flowing out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid discharge be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can also be given. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has perforated, surgical treatment should be administered in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
