Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. In the past few days, the child told me her ears hurt a little. I noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite was poor, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: What is the best way to treat otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child has a problem with eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. While undergoing treatment, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover as soon as possible.
