Question
Dear Sir, my son is just 9 years old. Lately, his ear has been a bit painful. This morning, there was some thick, yellow earwax, and he seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. How should we treat his tonsillitis with purulent drainage effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. They can also use regional medications, such as giving the baby an anti-inflammatory ear drop. If the symptoms are mainly ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be carried out. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. It is also important to ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
