Question
Dear parents, my 9-year-old son has been experiencing ear pain recently. This morning, his earwax was a bit thick and yellow, and he has been hearing a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a slight fever. How should we treat his ear infection and ringing?
Answer
For treatment, it is important to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. While taking medication, some regional treatments can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is also appropriate to use pain-relieving medication. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Apart from these medication treatment methods, if the child develops severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
