Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 2 years old. This week, he told me his ear hurts a bit, there is yellow earwax coming out in the morning, and his ear is buzzing. He also has a slight fever. What is the most effective way to treat pediatric otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a physician for their child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional application of medications, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, can also be considered. If the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If accompanied by a high fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever does not subside, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child has a perforated eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
