Question
Dear parents, my 8-year-old daughter has been experiencing ear pain recently. The earwax is thick and yellowish, she has lost her appetite, and her throat feels uncomfortable. What should be the treatment for a child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment should involve administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, as well as regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly, such as surgical treatment for perforated eardrums. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
