Question

An 8-year-old boy has recently felt ear pain, with occasional discharge of yellow fluid and a low-grade fever. How should one treat tonsillitis in children with itchy ears effectively?

Answer

The treatment method should be chosen based on the child’s symptoms, selecting symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Consider complementary regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe and there is a yellow fluid discharge, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give the child fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child develops an eardrum perforation, timely hospital treatment and surgery are required. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and provide enough rest time.
