Question
A baby boy just turned 1 year old and has been experiencing ear pain, excessive yellow earwax, and a buzzing sound in his ears over the past few days. He also has a slight fever. How should one treat ear pain caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Conducting a bacterial culture of ear secretions and using anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the examination results is also suggested. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, parents can give a suitable amount of pain reliever to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the child can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops an eardrum perforation, timely medical treatment and surgery should be sought. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child for early medical treatment, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
