The causes of ear pain can be varied and do not always have to involve the ear itself.
Children are more often affected by ear pain from an ear infection than adults. This has to do with the anatomical conditions of the ear and throat. Pain can be felt in the ears due to inflammation of these regions. The therapy options against the pain also start there.
Measures:
All measures for free nasal breathing help against fluid and secretion accumulation in the middle ear, because this also allows the middle ear to be well ventilated and thus the pressure and pain are relieved.
- Physiological salt water nasal rinses
- Decongestant nasal drops or sprays
