How to treat otitis media and tinnitus in children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. It has been noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, there is some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and tinnitus in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are the primary medication used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which have proven effective. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers may be administered depending on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be sought immediately. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
