Question

My child is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellow, thick earwax, loss of appetite, and throat discomfort. How should I treat the tinnitus caused by otitis media?

Answer

It is recommended to choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops can be considered, along with the selection of appropriate pain relievers based on the symptoms. Consider fever-reducing medication if there is a high fever. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly. For cases of tympanic membrane perforation requiring surgical treatment, keep warm and avoid catching a cold during the period.
