Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow liquid discharge. Additionally, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, it is recommended that parents provide appropriate pain relief medication. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
