Patient's question:
The kindergarten teacher said sometimes the child seems not to hear when called, not knowing whether it's because he's focused on playing or has poor hearing. So, she took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor removed a lot of earwax from him. The child is four years old, and he has never had his ears cleaned at home. The ear cleaning was done improperly, damaging his ears.Doctor's answer:
Hello, otitis media is most commonly characterized by a feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It often occurs after a cold or develops unnoticed. Sometimes, a change in head position can improve hearing. There may be a sensation of self-amplified sound. Some patients may experience mild ear pain. Otitis media in children has a greater impact on patients, so it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialist under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be carried out appropriately, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
