Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 years old, this week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How can middle ear infection and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
