How should pediatric otitis media with tinnitus be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 9 years old. Lately, the child has said that his ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infection and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give painkillers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If it cannot be, medical attention must be sought. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and rest schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
