Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sensation in the ears and a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily exhibits ear pain symptoms, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child also has severe fever, it is necessary to use some antipyretic drugs in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
