Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, this week, the child told me her ears were a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Also, her appetite was not good, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infection and tinnitus be treated in children for effective relief?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is advisable to use pain relievers to ease the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment should be promptly administered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent worsening of the symptoms.
