Question
My son is 6 years old and has been scratching his ear and saying it itches recently. The earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and he also has a headache and fever. How should I treat my child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops, and the use of painkillers if the earache is severe. If there is a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In serious cases, medical treatment should be sought promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate surgery is recommended. Also, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest to promote recovery.
