Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, has been repeatedly tugging at her ear, saying it itches, occasionally with yellow fluid discharge, accompanied by slight fever. How should otitis media with tinnitus in children be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops can be considered if ear pain is severe, and painkillers can be given. If there is a fever, use antipyretic medication or seek immediate medical attention. In case of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment should be sought. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist in recovery.
