Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media and tinnitus be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Bacterial cultures of ear can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used according to the test results. Pain relievers may also be given to the child, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a high fever, medications should be administered based on the symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by preventing them from catching a cold.
