Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. Upon noticing, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor. This can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms. A bacterial culture of the ear can be performed, and based on the results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, parents may consider giving appropriate pain relief medication. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be administered promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the child's immunity and prevent recurrence.
