Patient's question:
My little girl, she is one year old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is poor, and her throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should acute otitis media and tinnitus be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, it is necessary to use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition worsens and results in a eardrum perforation, hospital surgery is required. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
