Earache is a more common disease than can be thought among children, and it is usually caused by infections affecting the middle ear, which is also known as otitis. half.

Usually it usually stays in a pain of a few days, but if the necessary measures are taken, the membrane of the eardrum can be permanently damaged, with the consequent loss of hearing in the child.

Why do children's ears hurt?

Loss of appetite, the tendency to sleep while sitting, hearing loss or discharge of fluid through the ear are the most common symptoms of earache, but why do they occur?

The causes of earache in the smallest of the home can be very varied, but usually its onset is caused by an infection in the respiratory tract, such as the flu, but there are other reasons.

- Being exposed to a disproportionate noise for a long time can cause the earache in the child, due to the 'hammering' that the eardrum receives with the exaggeratedly high sounds. La - The obstruction of the ear canal also causes the earache in children, either by accumulated wax or by a foreign body that clogs the auditory pathways.

- Being in contact with other people who have an ear infection can cause the infection by the child.

- Blood can also carry viruses to the child's ear, so diseases like flu or scarlet fever can also cause an earache. El - The earache may be the result of water from the pool or the bathtub entering the child's ear, as the water may contain traces of a virus and stagnate in the child's ear causing pain.

- The earache can also be caused by a strong blow that partially perforates the eardrum, but it is a very exceptional case. El - Extreme cold, for example that produced when skiing or ice skating, can lead to freezing of the ear and lead to a severe pain in the ears.

- Changes in atmospheric pressure, either by climbing a mountain or traveling by plane can also be the cause of the earache in children.

- The diseases of teeth and infections in the ear or ear can also end up causing the pain to be reflected in the ear.
