Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful, and her earwax is somewhat thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat her otitis media and tinnitus?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
