Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Lately, he has been experiencing some pain in his ears. Additionally, I noticed that his earwax is purulent and yellowish. Moreover, he seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. How should I effectively treat my child’s ear infection and ringing?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment options can also be considered, such as using an anti-inflammatory ear drop for the baby. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is advisable to administer some painkillers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give the child some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Middle ear infections are characterized by recurrent attacks. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
