Children can experience several ear-related issues. The most common problems include:
Otitis Media: This is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear, often caused by bacteria or viruses. Symptoms may include ear pain, fever, and trouble hearing. Earwax Buildup: Excessive earwax can cause discomfort and even hearing loss if not properly managed. Swimmer's Ear: Also known as otitis externa, this is an infection of the outer ear canal, usually caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming. Hearing Loss: This can be congenital or acquired. Early detection is crucial for effective intervention.
