Question
Dear Baby, currently 7 years old, these days, the child told me that their ear hurts a bit, and I also found that the earwax is purulent and somewhat yellow. Additionally, they seem to have little appetite and are rather weak. How should one effectively treat a child’s middle ear infection and tinnitus?
Answer
Treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered. If the child’s condition is more severe, some regional treatments can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences significant pain in their ear, some painkillers can be given in moderation. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet with a focus on liquid foods.
