Question
My daughter is 5 years old, and she has been saying that her ears are itchy and painful for the past week. This morning, I found that there is a lot of earwax and it is yellow in color, and her ears have been ringing continuously, accompanied by a slight fever. How should I treat her for otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can take a moderate amount of antibiotic medication for symptomatic treatment, and regional drug therapy can also be adopted, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If there are symptoms of high fever, appropriate medication should be administered to the child according to specific circumstances. If symptoms are severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment immediately. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, timely hospitalization for surgical treatment is required. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and lifestyle habits to help them recover as soon as possible.
