Question
A 1-year-old girl has ear pain, buzzing sounds, excessive and yellow earwax, and a slight fever. How should children’s middle ear inflammation and tinnitus be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric middle ear inflammation can include symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, as well as regional treatment such as using ear drops for anti-inflammatory treatment. When ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used appropriately. If accompanied by a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used in appropriate doses. In serious cases, immediate medical attention is required. If the child has a perforated eardrum, immediate medical surgery is necessary. Parents should regularly take protective measures to prevent a recurrence of middle ear inflammation.
