For ear discomfort in children, you can register with the Department of Otolaryngology, Department of Five Nose and Throat, or Department of Neurology or Pediatrics for targeted examinations. The main causes of ear discomfort in children are local inflammation of the ear, neurological diseases, and diseases of organs near the ear.1. Ear inflammation: Acute otitis media, secretory otitis media, or otitis externa are common. Acute otitis media is usually caused by an upper respiratory tract infection and manifests as acute pain in the ear accompanied by hearing loss or tinnitus, which is a buzzing sound in the child’s ear. Secretory otitis media, on the other hand, presents with hearing loss or a feeling of stuffy ears. Otitis externa usually occurs when children get water inside their ears after swimming or washing their hair, and improper ear-pulling causes damage to the skin of the outer ear canal wall, resulting in the invasion of bacteria and fungi into the outer ear canal and acute onset of the disease, which is manifested by pulling pain in the ear, accompanied by local redness and swelling of the outer ear canal and purulent discharge. If there is ear inflammation in children, they can be referred to otolaryngology or quintuplegia. 2. Neurological diseases: Some neurological diseases can show ear pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, herpes zoster, etc. At this time, they can be referred to neurology. 3. Diseases of organs near the ear: Diseases in the oral cavity, throat, neck, etc. can produce pain that radiates to the ear, which can also be directly referred to pediatrics. In short, children should pay attention to ear discomfort and seek medical examination in time, pay attention to ear hygiene in general and try to pull out their ears less.
