Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 7 years old. This week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, she has some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
