Patient's question:
Boys, they are already 4 years old. This week, the child's ears have been a little sore, and there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, you can also give them some pain relievers. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and you can give them some fever-reducing medication orally. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe cases or if an eardrum perforation has already occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
