Question
My son is two years old. This week, he said his ear hurts, and in the morning, I observed that his earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. He also seems to have no appetite and looks quite weak. How should I treat my child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms, as well as regional medication. For example, you can give your baby an antibiotic ear drop if the child has a significant ear pain. If the child has a fever, you can administer fever-reducing medication, or you should take your child to the hospital as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child shows symptoms of perforation of the eardrum, immediate hospital treatment is required. Also, pay attention to your child’s diet and lifestyle habits, which can help the disease recover sooner.
