Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local treatment options include anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give pain-relieving medication to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurring, so if there is a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek treatment promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Additionally, rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
