Question
My son is 2 years old. Lately, he has been complaining of itchy ears, with yellow earwax discharge and a low-grade fever. How should I treat his pediatric otitis media and ringing in the ears?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used, and painkillers can be given according to the child’s condition, especially when ear pain is severe to alleviate the pain. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, and it is advisable to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If there are serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment should be sought; at the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest schedule to promote recovery from the disease.
