Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 1 year old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. It was noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a headache and a fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In serious cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be sought as soon as possible. Maintain a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
