Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. These past few days, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, yellow earwax was found leaking out, and at the same time, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat her otitis media and tinnitus?Doctor's answer:
First of all, for treating pediatric otitis media, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used in conjunction, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, medical surgery should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light and nutritious foods. Additionally, it is essential to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
