Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 4 years old and has been experiencing a bit of ear pain recently. There is more yellow earwax in the morning, poor appetite, and discomfort in the throat. How should one treat a child’s earache and tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, along with ear secretion pathogen culture to determine the appropriate treatment. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by a high fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medicine can be used, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgery as soon as possible. During this period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
