Question
My daughter is 5 years old, and this week she complained of ear pain. I found that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow, her ears are ringing, and she has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
In most cases, for pediatric otitis media, children can be treated with antibiotics to address the symptoms, which tends to be effective. At the same time, regional treatment methods can be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give painkillers according to the situation. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, especially for conditions such as perforation of the eardrum. During the treatment period, please pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
