Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he said his ears hurt. In the morning, I noticed the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and he also had some low fever. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for middle ear infection and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, analgesic medications can be used. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
