Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has said that her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, as well as combining some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is required. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
