Patient's question:
Boy baby, 1 year old, got water in his ear while learning to swim. Please ask: What are the symptoms of otitis media in infants?Doctor's answer:
Otitis media is a relatively common disease, characterized by intermittent stability or blockage when quickly turning the head. If only one ear is affected, it may go unnoticed for a long time. Acute otitis media patients may experience persistent dull ear pain or occasional sharp pain, while chronic otitis media patients may have recurring ear pain that is not obvious, accompanied by difficulty in ear drainage or a feeling of fullness, which can be temporarily relieved by gently pressing the tragus. It is recommended to visit a formal otolaryngology hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
