Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. Recently, he told me that his ear hurts a bit. In the morning, some yellow earwax was flowing out. Additionally, he has a low fever. I would like to ask: What are the effective treatments for otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment in the hospital is necessary. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
