Question
How should one treat earache and tonsillitis in children?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used. Regional treatment can involve the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. If ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. During fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment should be sought. Parents should be vigilant about protection to avoid a recurrence of otitis media.
