Question
My son is 4 years old, and this week he told me his ear hurts a bit. This morning, I found that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow, and he seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should I treat my child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
Firstly, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric otitis media. Additionally, regional treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer painkillers based on the situation. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child has a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment and surgery are required. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
