Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 8 years old. Recently, she said her ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, and she also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat pediatric otitis media and tinnitus.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given to the child according to their condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic medication can be taken cautiously. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrence of otitis media.
