Question
My son is 9 years old. Lately, he has been complaining of ear pain, and in the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. How should we treat a child’s middle ear infection and tinnitus?
Answer
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can give the child regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case they can take oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
