Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Also, I noticed the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sound in her ears, and a mild fever. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media and tinnitus be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is childhood otitis media, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child develops a severe condition, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
