Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain And Burning Around The Ears In Child?
My 11 yr old daughter was brought to dr and ent. No one can figure out why around the ear area hurts her and burns. They said it is not red or infected, no bites and that it looks fine. She isnt complaining about her teeth, so it cannot be that. But she is in pain crying saying that her ear burns. What do you think? Tylenol and IB is not working for the pain.
First We should exclude facial nerve palsy because it has the same symptoms in its earlier stage.
Second, the viral infection can cause these symptoms and the treatment is antiviral drugs.
Finally, I would like to know about your daughter"s health, for example, has she got diabetes or any other immune disorders.
To relief the pain she needs Carbamazepine CR 200: half tablet three times per day before meals then one tablet three times per day before meals until we treat the underlying cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
