Patient's question:
Baby girl, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. In the past few days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. If a child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, hospital surgery is required. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
