Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he has been saying that his ears hurt. In the morning, his earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on the best treatment for otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some antibiotics that are suitable for the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you can consider giving some pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
