Question
My son is 2 years old and has been tugging at his ear, saying it itches. This morning, there was yellow fluid coming out, accompanied by headache and fever. How should a child with middle ear infection and tinnitus be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, appropriate antibiotic medications can be administered to the child, as well as topical application of medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
