Children with fever and earache may be caused by purulent otitis media, boils on the external auditory canal, mumps, etc., and should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause.
1. Purulent otitis media: Purulent otitis media caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and other infections can cause ear pain, fever, tinnitus, chills, ear stuffiness and other symptoms.
2. Boils in the external auditory canal: Acute purulent inflammation of the hair follicles of the external auditory canal and its deeper tissues can cause ear pain, fever, red nodules in the ear canal, swelling and other symptoms.
3. Mumps: Mumps caused by the mumps virus can also cause fever and earache in children, and such children can also have enlarged and painful parotid glands.
There may be other reasons why a child’s ear hurts when he has a fever, so it is recommended that he go to the hospital in time to complete the examination to make it clear.
