Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been experiencing some ear pain this week. In the morning, there is yellow earwax discharge, along with headaches and fever. I would like to know how to treat a child’s ear infection and tinnitus.
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are mainly used. Medications are prescribed according to the child’s symptoms, and regional treatments can be administered, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts; if accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms, and in severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. The above are common treatment methods. If the child shows symptoms of perforated eardrum, timely medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
