Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been constantly tugging at his ear, saying it itches, and there has been yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is feeling weak. What should be the best treatment for the child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If there are symptoms of high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, please seek medical attention promptly. If there are serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
