Question
How can one effectively treat a child’s otitis media and tinnitus? My daughter is 6 years old, and recently, she has been experiencing some pain in her ear. Additionally, the earwax has become a bit thick and yellow, and she seems to have lost her appetite and is rather tired.
Answer
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. If the condition is severe, regional treatment such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be administered in moderation; if accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication should be taken, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child develops an eardrum perforation, timely medical attention and surgical treatment are required. Parents should also take precautions to protect the child and prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
