She thought her 5-year-old son just had a common cold and fever. After hearing what the doctor said, the mother was dumbfounded.

Early in the morning, Lin Na went to the children\’s room to wake up her precious son Tiantian as usual. When she walked up to the child and saw that the little guy was sleeping like a little pig, she smiled lovingly at her son and thought to herself that she must have been too excited and tired from playing all day yesterday. But now that the sun is getting higher, I still have to wake him up. When she gently pushed her son with her hand, she was suddenly startled. Tiantian had a fever, and the temperature was not low. Lin Na quickly took out a thermometer from the home emergency medical kit and put it under her armpit for Tiantian. After a while, When she took it out, she saw that the temperature had reached 39 degrees. Lin Na thought that the fever might be caused by going out yesterday, the child sweating a lot after playing, sleeping in the middle of the night without a good quilt, and accidentally catching a cold. So she gave her child cold medicine and antipyretics as usual, thinking that he would feel better soon. But who knew that the whole morning had passed, and not only did the temperature not go down every day, but the body temperature actually reached almost 40 degrees, and I still complained of ear pain every day! Lin Na quickly picked up her son, asked her husband to drive the car, and the couple ran to the hospital. When she arrived at the pediatric clinic, Lin Na quickly told the doctor about her child\’s condition this morning, and worriedly asked the doctor if the medicine she gave her child was wrong. The doctor carefully looked at Tiantian\’s mouth, then looked at Tiantian\’s ears and other physical conditions, and then asked Lin Na if the child\’s ears had water in the past few days. Lin Na found this question strange. Is there any connection between a child\’s cold and water in his ears? But since the doctor asked this, Lin Na remembered that the temperature was quite high yesterday, so Lin Na\’s family and her friends took their children to the children\’s playground to play, and then took a sea bath. In the hot summer weather, not to mention the children, even the adults had a lot of fun, playing in the pool, but she really didn\’t notice whether the water got in the children\’s ears! Because I played enthusiastically in the pool with my friends every day, even when I returned home at night, there was no sign of physical discomfort, so I didn\’t even check whether there was water in the child\’s ears. After listening to Lin Na\’s story, the doctor asked her if the child had taken appropriate protective measures when playing in the water. Lin Na said she had done it, and the adults were watching over the children, and they also had swimsuits and lifebuoys. Did the doctor say to give the child earplugs? Now Lin Na shook her head. The doctor said that the child\’s fever was not caused by a cold at all. The real cause of the trouble was that the child accidentally let water enter his ears while taking a sea bath, causing acute otitis media. Tiantian\’s ears have begun to suppurate, and the tympanic membrane is severely congested, which is why the child feels ear pain. Lin Na was dumbfounded when she heard this. She thought the child had a common cold and fever. I never thought that taking a bath in sea water would cause such problems to my child. After completing the corresponding examination and treatment for the child, the doctor suggested that Lin Na should take a sea bath or swim in the future. First, don’t forget to add protective measures to your child’s ears. For example, put on earplugs, etc. This is done because of their young age. Children\’s Eustachian tubes are shorter, wider and straighter than those of adults, and their position is relatively low. This kind of physical developmentThe condition during the childbirth period causes that once water is choked from the nasal cavity, bacteria will easily enter the middle ear cavity through the Eustachian tube and cause infection, thereby causing otitis media and causing discomfort to the body. Wear earplugs and protect yourself so that this situation can be avoided. Secondly, parents must not make their own decisions and treat their children with random medicines. Just like every day, thanks to Lin Na, she can quickly bring her children to the hospital. If they always take it upon themselves to treat acute otitis media as a cold or fever, this will not delay the condition. Do children cause greater harm? Third, these suggestions are not only suitable for children, but also for adults! In the hot summer, it is normal to take a bath in the sea and play in the water. However, for the sake of health, everyone must pay attention to these small details. Only in this way can health be always with you.
