Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and he had a slight fever. Please ask: How should the diagnosis and treatment be carried out for the child's otitis media and tinnitus?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication or local treatment depending on the child's symptoms. For example, topical anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for children, and pain relievers can be applied for those with significant ear pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought.In addition to these medication treatments, if a child experiences severe conditions such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child has a balanced diet and proper rest habits to aid in early recovery.
