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 yellow fluid 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 them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
