Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. Recently, she told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that she has a lot of yellow earwax, poor appetite, and a sore throat. I was wondering: What is the best way to treat her otitis media and tinnitus?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local drug treatment is possible, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. When a child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can also be used in moderation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment from a hospital promptly. The above methods are currently common in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
