Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media and tinnitus in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate it. If the child also has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a condition of a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light meals, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
