Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child said her ears felt itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment for the child's otitis media and tinnitus be carried out.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Parents can apply topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be used as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
