What Causes Chronic Ear Pain In A Child Suffering With Asthma?
My granddaughter is 6 yrs old and has asthma. She has had a steady cough without mucous for the past 2 days. She has taken her asthma meds, and was just started on an antibiotic today. She also had a chest x-ray which didn t reveal any abnormality. A short time ago, she started screaming about a pain in her ear. The screaming has continued and my daughter took her to a walk in clinic. I was wondering if she might have ruptured her ear drum. Wondering if you can fill me in on how long to this might go on before we can see relief. Thanks.

This looks like a upper respiratory infection(URTI).The pain in her ear is due to infection & it is not her eardrum bursting for sure.so don't worry.dr wil give her amoxicillin syrup for URTI FOR 5-7 Days depending on her condition & she will be pain free & healthy within days.Kindly give a thanks if i cleared your query.
