Earache in children

Earaches are much more common in children than in adults. Up to the age of 3, almost every child suffers at least once from earache, which often occurs as part of a middle ear infection. Boys are often affected more often than girls.

The reason for this increased incidence of earache and middle ear infections in children is the anatomical peculiarity of the auditory trumpet, which normally serves as a connection between the middle ear (tympanic cavity) and the nasopharynx for pressure equalization and drainage of secretions. On the one hand, in children it is initially even shorter and runs more horizontally, so that bacteria or viruses can more easily ascend into the middle ear when they have a cold. On the other hand, the ear trumpet is still so narrow that it can easily become completely blocked if the mucous membrane swells during an inflammation or a cold.

A build-up of non-draining secretions provides an optimal breeding ground for the (over)colonization of germs (bacteria or viruses), so that an inflammatory infection of the middle ear can easily occur (otitis media). Inflammation of the middle ear and swelling of the auditory tube causes fluid to collect in the middle ear, building up pressure and causing the eardrum to bulge outwards, which is usually associated with pain. The swelling and inflammation of the parotid gland, especially in the case of the viral childhood disease mumps, can also lead to earaches in children.

Depending on the age of the affected child, the ear problems can be localized and described more or less well and precisely. Infants often attract attention because they are more likely to cry and often rub their ears. In addition, general symptoms such as fever, diarrhoea and vomiting, abdominal pain and hearing problems can also occur. If the child has earache, the pediatrician should usually be consulted to get to the bottom of the cause and treat it correctly to avoid possible, sometimes very serious complications (meningitis, perforation of the eardrum, hearing loss).
