Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 1 year old. Recently, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, he has a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems that he has little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child also has fever symptoms, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
