Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, attending primary school. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge, and his ears buzz. He also has a slightly low-grade fever. Please ask: How is otitis media and tinnitus treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, parents can administer some fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child develops a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly and undergo surgery. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
