Patient's question:
The kindergarten teacher said that sometimes when she calls the child, it seems like he doesn't hear her. She didn't know if it was because he was too focused on playing or if he had 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. He kept saying his ears were cleaned too hard.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 happens without notice. Sometimes, a change in head position can improve hearing. There may be a sensation of increased self-hearing. Some patients may experience mild ear pain. Otitis media in children has a significant 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!
