Question
The baby boy just turned 1 year old. Lately, he says his ear itches and hurts. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he has no appetite and is very weak. How should ear infection and tinnitus in children be treated?
Answer
If a child has an ear infection, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, in addition to systemic medication, and regional treatment can also be performed by using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, some painkillers can also be administered. If the child has fever symptoms, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely hospital treatment and surgery may be required. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
