Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 7 years old. She says her ear is painful and itchy, with a lot of yellowish earwax. She has lost her appetite and feels weak. How should we treat her middle ear infection and tinnitus?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric middle ear infection primarily involves the use of antibiotics, with symptomatic medication based on the condition. Complementary treatments include ear drops for inflammation, and painkillers can be administered for ear pain. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication should be taken, and in case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be necessary. After recovery, moderate exercise can help improve immunity and prevent recurrence.
