Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How can otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can consult your doctor and choose some anti-inflammatory medications based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms primarily involve ear pain, you may consider giving some pain-relieving medication. If high fever is also present, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital immediately for treatment. In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. While being treated, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help speed up recovery.
