Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she seemed to have no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should ear infections and tinnitus in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which show good efficacy. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences significant ear pain, analgesic medications can be provided as needed. Additionally, if a fever is present, antipyretic drugs may be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospitalization for surgical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is advised to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
