Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. Recently, he said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, yellow earwax has been flowing out, and his appetite is poor, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Could you please advise on the best treatment for middle ear and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advised to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms.
