Question
My son is 5 years old. In recent days, he has been saying that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharged, and his ears were buzzing. He also had a slight fever. How should I treat his earache and tinnitus caused by otitis media?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some antibiotics that are appropriate for the symptoms. Parents can administer topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment. For children with obvious ear pain, painkillers can be used. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there is a situation of tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to receive timely medical treatment. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease, bring their children for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing a good job of related prevention and health care work in daily life.
