Question
My son is 2 years old. Lately, he has been scratching his ears, saying they are itchy. Additionally, there is yellow earwax coming out, and his appetite and throat are also uncomfortable. How should one effectively treat a child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
To achieve better results in treating otitis media, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. Parents can use regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops for their child, and also provide painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child has a particularly high fever, some antipyretics can be used appropriately. If the situation is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a perforated eardrum, timely hospital surgery is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
