Otitis media and sinusitis in children

Patient's question:

Three days after recovering from a cold, the child woke up in the middle of the night complaining of pain in the left ear.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be sinusitis. Sinusitis is often caused by upper respiratory infections, and bacterial and viral infections can occur simultaneously. Antibiotics are generally used for treatment. If it doesn't work, consider puncture drainage and irrigation therapy.
