Question
My son, who just turned 7, has been complaining of ear pain for the past few days. This morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat his ear infection and tinnitus effectively?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child’s condition is severe, you can also complement it with regional treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, it is also appropriate to use painkillers in moderation. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of ear infections. Moreover, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods. Also, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
