Question
A 6-year-old boy recently experienced pain in his ear, with earwax appearing purulent and yellow, loss of appetite, and discomfort in his throat. How should a child’s ear infection and ringing be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, along with regional drug treatment. You may choose to use anti-inflammatory ear drops and provide painkillers as needed, especially when the ear pain is severe, to alleviate the pain. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms, and immediate medical treatment should be sought in severe cases. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. After recovery, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
