Question
The boy is already 1 year old and has been consistently tugging at his ears in recent days, complaining of itching, with a lot of yellow earwax. He seems to have no appetite and is also feeling weak. How should children with otitis media and tinnitus be treated?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, the primary measure is to use antibiotic medications for treatment, while also using anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized therapy. If ear pain symptoms occur, consider using painkillers. If fever is present, take antipyretic medication, and seek medical attention as soon as possible if high fever develops. In the event of severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
