Question

Dear reader, my daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain with yellowish earwax discharge, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat her otitis media and tinnitus?

Answer

The most common treatment for otitis media is the use of antibiotics, which can be selectively administered. Regional treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. If there is a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used as appropriate; if the condition is severe, please seek medical attention promptly. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, immediate surgery is required. During treatment, it is recommended to arrange for a light diet and supplement nutrition to promote recovery.
