Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was occasionally a yellowish discharge, and at the same time, his ears were buzzing. There was also a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is suggested that parents can appropriately give some analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child has a fever, you can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, it needs to be treated with surgery in a timely manner. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
