Question
A 2-year-old male baby recently experienced itchy and painful ears, with yellow and thick earwax, accompanied by a low-grade fever. Inquiry: How should children with otitis media and tinnitus be treated effectively?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be considered, along with regional therapy options, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily exhibits ear pain, parents can administer painkillers in appropriate amounts to relieve the discomfort. If fever is present, timely administration of antipyretic medication or immediate medical attention is recommended. In cases of recurrent acute severe conditions or if there is already a perforation in the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be sought. It is advised that parents take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care measures on a daily basis.
