Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore, noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
