How should my child's middle ear infection and tinnitus be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 7 years old. Recently, the child said that his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by headaches and fever.:How should the child's otitis media and tinnitus be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms, or combining it with local treatment methods such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurring, so if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely treatment is required. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
