Question
My daughter is 5 years old. This week, she said her ears were itchy and painful. Additionally, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she seemed to have little appetite and was quite weak. How should one treat a child’s otitis media and ringing in the ears?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are mainly used, and symptomatic medications can be used according to the child’s symptoms, with good results. Regional drug treatment can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child also has a high fever, some antipyretics can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should pay attention to this disease and bring the child for medical treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to related prevention and health care during daily life.
