Earache and its causes in children

An earache is an inflammation of the outer , middle and inner ear.  The one that affects the most often, from 0 to 9 years old, is acute earache, but other types of earaches exist.  This is why it is important to consult your doctor for a precise diagnosis.

Middle ear ache is an inflammation of the ear canal caused by a virus or bacteria, often occurring as a result of a cold.  For the other types of earaches, repeated use of  cotton swabs, water in the ear after a swim or a bath, a trip by plane or a getaway at high altitude can cause earache.

Several factors cause earache in children, especially:

• Community life, which facilitates transmission of bacteria and viruses
• Bottle feeding
• Premature birth
• Heredity
• Amalformation of the inner ear
• Exposure to tobacco smoke

Symptoms of earache

There are many symptoms of earache in children: of course pain in the ears, but also fever, hearing loss, yellowish secretions.  In younger children, earache makes them touch their ears, unexplained crying, irritability, fatigue, waking up in the middle of the night, loss of appetite and trouble digesting.

Earaches generally occur starting at 3 months.  Infants lose the immune protection transmitted by their mother during pregnancy and do not have enough of their own protection.  This sickness becomes more uncommon after 7 years of age.  Some earaches go away by themselves, others need antibiotic treatment, therefore it’s important to consult your doctor if you infant has symptoms of earache!
