Question
My daughter is 3 years old. This week, she said her ears were itchy and painful. I checked and found that the earwax was purulent and a bit yellow, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a slight fever. How should we treat her middle ear infection and tinnitus?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If accompanied by a fever, parents can give the child fever-reducing medication. If the condition is serious, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment should be sought. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
