Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. Recently, he told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and he also has a headache and fever. Could you please advise on how to treat middle ear infection and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and if the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, you can also use some pain-relieving medications in moderation. If the child has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medications. If the condition is serious, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a ruptured eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid diets during treatment.
