Question
Dear Parent, my son is just 6 years old. This week, he has been experiencing some ear pain, with yellow earwax discharge in the morning, accompanied by a slight fever. How should we treat his earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be chosen appropriately. You can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, you can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle to help the disease recover sooner.
