Infection in the middle part of the ear is the commonest cause of earache in children. It is also called otitis media. Three out of four children will develop an ear infection by the time they are 3 years old.
Common symptoms of a sinus infection include facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, nasal discharge (which may be thick and discolored), loss of smell, cough, fatigue, and fever. If you experience these symptoms for more than 10 days or if they worsen over time, it's advisable to seek medical attention.
Several factors can contribute to a persistent sore throat. Common causes include viral or bacterial infections (such as strep throat), allergies, postnasal drip, acid reflux, smoking, or even vocal strain. It's important to consult with an ENT specialist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment based on your specific symptoms and medical history.
To help prevent ear infections, especially in children, you can take the following measures:
Encourage good hand hygiene to minimize the spread of germs.
Ensure timely vaccinations, including the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and annual influenza vaccine.
Avoid exposing children to secondhand smoke.
Breastfeeding can help boost a child's immune system and reduce the risk of ear infections.
Prevent exposure to allergens whenever possible, as allergies can contribute to ear infections.
