Question
My son is 1 year old. In recent days, he has been saying that his ears are itchy and painful. This morning, there was yellow earwax discharged, and he also seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. How should we treat children’s otitis media and ringing in the ears?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. You can also perform a bacterial culture of the ear secretions and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the results of the examination. If the child is experiencing ear pain, you can also give him painkillers. If the child has a high fever, consider using antipyretic medication. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In cases of repeated acute severity or if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be considered. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously and seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
