Girl baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with tinnitus be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve symptoms. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give painkillers based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
