Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Recently, he told me that his ear hurts a bit, there is yellow earwax coming out, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. How should children with otitis media and tinnitus be treated?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for children with otitis media primarily involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose according to the symptoms and can also complement regional treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For severe ear pain, painkillers can be considered, as well as fever-reducing medication. If fever is present, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In severe cases, such as perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child early on, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
