Question
My baby is two and a half years old. Over the past week, she has occasionally mentioned having a sound in her ear, and she makes a strong effort to blink her eyes. Sometimes it happens twice a day, and sometimes once every two days, lasting for a few seconds each time. What could this be? Thank you.
Answer
The child is two and a half years old and has been saying she has a sound in her ear over the past week, and she makes a strong effort to blink her eyes. Has the child had a cold recently? Conditions like pharyngitis, tonsillitis, or rhinitis can lead to congestion and edema, which can then cause obstruction in the auditory canal, thereby disturbing the physiological function of the middle ear. If there is any relief, it is recommended to go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for an examination.
