Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellowish, purulent earwax, and a low-grade fever. How should we treat a child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
The treatment method should be determined based on the child’s symptoms. Generally, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used in conjunction with regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used moderately. If there is a high fever, consider taking antipyretic medication, but if the condition is serious, medical attention should be sought promptly. Additionally, tympanic membrane perforation requires timely surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
