Patient's question:
My boy, who is 2 years old, has been complaining of ear pain this week. In the morning, his earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please tell me how to treat otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, or local medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
