Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally there's a yellow liquid discharge, with a humming sound in the ears. She also has a slight fever. Question: How to diagnose and treat otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
To better treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. You can also give some painkillers based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advised to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, you should also pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and getting enough rest.
