Question
Dear parents, our daughter, now 9 years old, has recently been experiencing itching and pain in her ear. We noticed that the earwax is purulent and yellowish, and she also has a slight fever. How should we treat our child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric otitis media, appropriate medication can be used based on the child’s symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment can be considered. It is recommended to consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period and to pay attention to a light diet.
