Question
A 8-year-old boy has recently been experiencing ear pain and has noticed a yellow purulent substance in his ear, accompanied by headaches and fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis with purulent discharge?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can consider giving the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and using ear drops for local treatment. Painkillers can be administered during severe ear pain. If fever symptoms are present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, surgery may be required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist in the child’s recovery.
