Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

If she do not have earache or any discharge, this need not be an ear infection. Tinnitus is probably unrelated and can be caused by other conditions like impacted wax. We can evaluate this if it persists after fever.

Without any other symptoms associated, we can take this as viral infection and just give paracetamol 3 times a day for 3 days. If fever is not subsiding by then, or she develops earache or ear discharge, kindly get her examined with your pediatrician.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
