Question
Dear Sir, my son, just turned 3 years old, has been complaining about a slight pain in his ear these days. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and he seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. What should be the appropriate treatment for his earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used appropriately. Regional therapy can also be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For severe ear pain, analgesics can be taken in moderation. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be administered or medical treatment should be sought. In case of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical attention is required. During the treatment period, it is advisable to consume a light diet with a focus on liquid foods.
