Your son seems to be diagnosed with otitis media with effusion which is also known as glue ear. If his condition is persistent for many months to ear then medications may not help much though intra nasal steroid sprays are usually tried for few months before doing surgery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
