Question
My daughter is 3 years old, and she has been scratching her ears for the past week, saying her ears are itchy. This morning, I found a lot of yellow earwax in her ears, and she sometimes has a low fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance based on the symptoms. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. If the child has significant ear pain, painkillers can be used. If there is fever, fever-reducing medication can also be taken. If the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the condition is severe and there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. During treatment, it is also important to ensure that the child has a light diet and strengthens nutritional supplementation to promote early recovery.
