Question

The parents took their child to the hospital for a check-up because the child sometimes seemed to not hear instructions at kindergarten. The parents want to know how to determine the severity of their child’s otitis media.

Answer

Common symptoms of pediatric otitis media include feeling of fullness in the ear, decreased hearing, and tinnitus, which may improve with changes in head position. In daily life, preventing heat and taking moderate exercise may help reduce the occurrence of pediatric otitis media. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for timely consultation so that treatment can be received under the doctor’s guidance. We hope the child can recover quickly!
