Earaches should be reported
I've seen numerous cases of sick ears this season.
My advice is to treat an earache with respect. It’s a
serious condition.
A heating pad and a Tylenol might relieve the dis
comfort of an earache, but remember this: an
earache i« a warning syniplom that needs prompt
meiliral attention. Sonielimea the infectioua matter
which rauHes the pain ruplure. the eardrum and ran
rauitr loas of hearing and even hrain infeetion.
Even though the pain of an earache may subside
suddenly, report the con
dition to your doctor.
Avoid dangerous health
risks.
