Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats plenty of vegetables and fruits.
