Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in elementary school. In recent days, the child said his ears hurt. It was noticed that occasionally, there was yellow fluid leaking out, and his ears were buzzing. He also had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Parents can also use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for immediate treatment. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly seek surgical treatment at the hospital. During treatment, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child and strengthening nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
