We often see infants and children who often have high fever and ear pain during acute upper respiratory infections such as pharyngitis, rhinitis, and bronchitis. It turns out that this is a common pediatric ear disease, namely acute otitis media. Since pediatric fever with ear root pain is similar to the symptomatic manifestations of many diseases, it is important to pay attention during the examination to prevent misdiagnosis. Acute otitis media causes ear pain: When acute otitis media occurs, in addition to fever, the ear pain is more obvious in the child. As a reminder, in addition to fever and earache, infants often suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, and even severe dehydration, and often neglect ear symptoms due to obvious digestive symptoms. Therefore, in clinical cases of severe diarrhea in infants, do not forget to check the eardrum and pay attention to whether the eardrum is congested and whether there is purulent discharge from the ear canal. Warm tip: If acute otitis media is not treated in time, it may be complicated by acute mastoiditis or even acute purulent meningitis. Therefore, if you see fever and ear pain in children in the clinic, you should give prompt diagnosis and timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition and causing serious complications, or delaying it to become chronic.
