Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. This week, the child told me his ears were a bit sore. He noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also seemed to have no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How can otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can take anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child's ear pain is intense, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to undergo timely surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
