Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old. In recent days, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. We’ve noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by a slight fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric otitis media and tinnitus?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric otitis media in clinical practice is the use of antibiotic medications, with symptomatic medication (symptomatic medication) being effective according to the child’s symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If there is a high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to seek medical attention and undergo surgery promptly. Finally, parents are advised to take this disease seriously, bring their child for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to preventive measures and health care in daily life.
