Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 2 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. I would like to ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or topical treatments can be used. For example, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be applied to babies, and children with prominent ear pain can be given pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, parents can provide fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In cases of a ruptured eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
