TMJ & EAR PAIN AMONG CHILDREN
Inner ear infections are common among children from the age of two or three years until as late as 12 years-old. They often experience severe pain and a fluid-like sensation in their ears.
When a young patient is examined by a physician, the doctor looks into the ear and may find the presence of fluid. The protocol then follows of prescribing antibiotics or eardrops. In a percentage of children, the fluid feeling continues.
