Question
A one-year-old child caught a cold in early October. Initially, the child only had a runny nose without any other symptoms. On the morning of the 7th, the child had a fever, which improved after taking antipyretic medication. On the 9th, it was discovered that the child’s right ear was discharging fluid, and after hospital examination, it was diagnosed with otitis media and purulent tonsillitis.
Answer
The treatment of otitis media and purulent tonsillitis requires active measures. Medication treatment should be continued to prevent recurrence of the condition. In severe cases, these diseases may lead to complications such as meningitis or sepsis. Currently, continue to use ear drops and continue to take oral medications without interruption to ensure efficacy. If there are no adverse reactions to both medications, they can be taken simultaneously. Treatment should be carried out according to the prescribed course.
