Question
My son is 1 year old. This week, he told me his ear hurts a bit, and sometimes yellow fluid comes out. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is for parents to give their child anti-inflammatory medication, and they can also combine it with local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child has a high fever, consider giving fever-reducing medicine, but if the fever persists, be sure to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, hospital surgery may be required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care in daily life.
