Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Upon noticing, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears were buzzing slightly. There was also a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, can give the child some antibiotics, which is quite effective. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
