Patient's question:
My daughter is 2 years old. Recently, she said her ears hurt. In the morning, I noticed that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please advise: How should we treat her otitis media and tinnitus effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatment can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can also be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
