Question
My son is 1 year old. This week, he told me his ear hurts a bit. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and his ear was buzzing. He also had a slight fever. How should we treat his otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, as well as regional therapy, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. For children with pronounced ear pain, painkillers can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be alleviated, it is necessary to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
