Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 1 year old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Also, I noticed the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media and tinnitus be treated.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. A bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used. If the child's symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring episodes. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be preferred during the treatment.
