Is the occurrence of otitis media related to colds?

Answer

Otitis media is most commonly characterized by a feeling of pressure or blockage in the ear, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It often occurs after a cold or without being noticed. Sometimes, a change in head position can lead to improved hearing. There may be an increase in self-hearing. Some patients may experience mild ear pain. Children may often show symptoms of delayed hearing or lack of concentration. The impact of pediatric otitis media on patients is relatively significant, so it is recommended that patients seek timely consultation with a specialist and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is advisable to drink plenty of water and pay close attention to dietary issues, hoping that the child can recover quickly!
