Question
My son is 3 years old. This week, he told me his ear was a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite and throat were also uncomfortable. How should I treat my child’s ear infection and tinnitus?
Answer
If a child has an ear infection, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be used, along with regional application of ear drops for treatment, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be considered, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. In severe cases, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, the child should be kept warm to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
