Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 years old. This week, he told me his ear was a bit sore. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and his ear was buzzing. He also had a slight fever. How should we treat otitis media and tinnitus in children for the best results?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to help relieve inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, consider regional application of medications, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, you can use a small amount of pain reliever. If accompanied by a high fever, you can use a small amount of fever reducer. However, if the fever persists without improvement, be sure to seek medical attention promptly. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to staying warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
