Pediatric Problems – Answers Why does my childs ear ache?
The most common cause of earache in a child is “Otitis Media”, or inflammation of the middle ear. It is the most frequent diagnosis recorded for children who visit physicians for illness. It is the most common cause of hearing loss in children, and may impair learning capacity and even delay speech development. However, if it is treated promptly and effectively, hearing can almost always be restored to normal.
