How should childhood otitis media and tinnitus be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 7 years old. In recent days, the child told me her ears were a bit sore. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with tinnitus be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
