Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. This week, her ears have been a bit painful, and she has noticed that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Local drug treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, you can use some analgesic drugs. If the child has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, hospital surgery is required. Pay attention to a light diet and during treatment, primarily consuming liquid foods.
