Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 2 years old, have been complaining recently that their ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, it has been noticed that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by headaches and fever. Please ask: How can otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of otitis media in children, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effect is quite good. Local medication can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to alleviate it. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if a child exhibits severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, it requires timely treatment. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
