Patient's question:
Boy, he is 9 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is occasionally yellow liquid discharge. He also has a headache and fever. Question: How can otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. In addition, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and mainly a liquid diet should be followed during treatment.
