Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. This week, the child said he has ear pain. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How is otitis media and tinnitus treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms or use local medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
