Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 6 years old, and this week she has been experiencing some ear pain, thick and yellow earwax, decreased appetite, and an uncomfortable throat. How should I treat her otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. Regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. If the ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is suggested to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, consider using antipyretic medication. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly. In case of eardrum perforation, immediate surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, keep warm to avoid exacerbating the symptoms.
