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

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already one year old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. He noticed that occasionally there was also yellow fluid leaking out. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with yellow fluid discharge in children?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, can be given to the child some antibiotics, which is relatively effective. If the child's condition is more severe, some local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. In addition, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has already occurred, surgical treatment should be carried out in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to improve immunity and prevent recurrence.
