Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and his ears were buzzing, with a slight fever. Please ask: How should the treatment for the child's otitis media and tinnitus be carried out?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain relievers can be used in moderation. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above medications and treatment methods, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is necessary. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help speed up recovery.
