Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. In recent days, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also had some low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media and tinnitus be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child has severe ear pain, mild analgesics can be used in moderation. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media currently. Furthermore, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily focusing on light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
