Question
Dear Baby, she is only 7 years old, and her ears have been a bit painful these days. The earwax is purulent and yellow, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat the child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
It is recommended to choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammation symptoms. Regional treatment can be performed simultaneously, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and painkillers should be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when there is severe pain in the ear. If fever symptoms are present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the situation is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In cases of repeated acute severe conditions or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be considered. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
