Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. Upon examination, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Question: How can middle ear infection and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for treating pediatric otitis media in clinical practice. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used according to the test results. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
