Question
Dear parents, my son is just 7 years old and has recently been experiencing itchy and painful ears, with yellow fluid discharge. He has a lack of appetite and discomfort in his throat. How should one treat a child’s ear infection and ringing?
Answer
Generally, children with otitis media can consider oral antibiotic treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be supplemented. For children with obvious ear pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a high fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication should be administered. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In case of eardrum perforation, timely medical treatment and surgery should be sought, and attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and sleep habits to promote recovery.
