Question
The boy is 5 years old. Over the past few days, he has been complaining of itchy and painful ears. It was discovered that the earwax is purulent , somewhat yellow, and he also seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. What are the treatment methods for a child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms, providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. If the condition is severe, regional treatment can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, analgesics can be considered. Some children may have a fever along with the condition, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If these methods do not alleviate the symptoms, it is imperative to seek medical attention. These are the commonly used methods for treating otitis media. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. Parents should take good protective measures for their children to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
