This Week's Health News & Views Cr Reger lop Ragan Harper, Kay Plumley, Margaret Ramsey | Earaches should be’reported I've seen numerous cases of sick ears this season. g88 My advice is to treat an earache with respect. It's a x serious condition. A heating pad and a Tylenol might relieve the dis- comfort of an earache, but remember this: an earache is a warning symptom that needs prompt medical attention. Sometimes the infectious matter which causes the pain ruptures the eardrum and can cause loss of hearing and even brain infection. Even though the pain of an earache may subside suddenly, report the con- dition to your doctor. Avoid dangerous health risks. Harper's Prevcripion Pharmacy TE 709 W.
