Patient's question:
My child is a baby boy, 1 year old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Upon noticing, there was yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should my child's otitis media and tinnitus be treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. Pain in the ear can also be treated with pain-relieving medication for children. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with additional nutrients, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
