Question
A 8-year-old boy has recently experienced ear pain, excessive yellow earwax, headaches, and fever. How should one treat tinnitus caused by pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Currently, the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media often involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on symptoms and can also consider regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be considered when there is ear pain, and antipyretics can be used if there is severe fever. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. Recurrent acute inflammation or perforation of the eardrum may require timely surgical treatment. Parents should regularly perform preventive measures for their children to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
