Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a little. In the morning, some yellow earwax came out, and his ears were buzzing. He also had a slight fever. I'm asking: How can otitis media with tinnitus in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medications can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication under advice. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child experiences a eardrum perforation, they should be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms.
