Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, this week, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How can we effectively treat the child's otitis media and tinnitus?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
