Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and her appetite was not good either, and her throat was uncomfortable. Please ask: How is otitis media and tinnitus treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child's primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the child develops a eardrum perforation, it is advised to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
