Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and this week, her ear has been a bit painful. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the earwax is purulent and yellowish, and she has some low-grade fever. How should tinnitus in children with otitis media be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used. Regional treatment can choose anti-inflammatory ear drops, and painkillers can be used for children with obvious ear pain. If fever symptoms are present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. It is recommended to eat a light diet during the treatment period.
