Question
Dear readers, our little girl, who is only 6 years old, has been experiencing some pain in her ear recently. We noticed that the earwax is purulent and somewhat yellow, and she also has a low-grade fever. How should we treat a child’s earache and tinnitus caused by otitis media?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment, as well as regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, you can moderately use painkillers. If the child has a fever, you can give them fever-reducing medication, and in serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe attacks or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
