Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. He noticed that yellow earwax was coming out, and his appetite was also poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics are commonly used for treating otitis media, and can be chosen as needed. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrients and maintain a light diet. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
