Patient's question:
Little girl, only 6 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, her earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should we treat her otitis media and tinnitus for better recovery?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor. These medications can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, pain relievers should be used to relieve symptoms. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if the tympanic membrane perforates, surgical treatment is required. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent aggravation of symptoms due to catching a cold.
