MSRA-0563

A 4-year-old girl is brought to the clinic. Her mother reports that she has been complaining of a painful right ear for the past 2-3 days. This morning she noticed some ‘yellow pus’ coming out of her ear. On examination her temperature is 38.2ºC. Otoscopy of the left ear is normal. On the right side, the tympanic membrane cannot be visualised as the ear canal is filled with a yellow discharge. What should be done in this situation?
