Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Additionally, we noticed that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow. Also, his appetite is poor and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media and tinnitus be treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
