Question
My daughter is 2 years old and has been complaining of ear pain for the past few days. This morning, I found that the earwax is purulent and yellowish, and she also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s middle ear inflammation and tinnitus for better effectiveness?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric middle ear inflammation, considering administering some antibiotics to the child can be effective. Additionally, regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops can be considered. For ear pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely hospital treatment and surgery may be required. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
