Earache In Children

Abstract

Abstract

Otalgia is a frequently encountered symptom by general practitioner, pediatrics and ear, nose and throat doctors. Although otalgia is mostly related with ear(primary otalgia), it can be related with pathologies in systems out of ear as oral,oropharyngeal, laryngeal, dental, sinonasal and musculoskeletal. This is called secondary otalgia. Therefore examination of ear pain in children should include ot-her systems outside the ear and treatment should be planned accordingly to this.

Otalji pratisyen doktorların, pediatri doktorlarının ve kulak burun boğaz doktorlarının sık karşılaştığı bir semptomdur. Otalji nedeni çoğunlukla kulak orjinli(primer otalji) olmasına rağmen kulak dışı oral, orofarengeal, larengeal, dental, sinonazal ve kas- iskelet sistemi ile ilgili hastalıklarda da görülebilmekte ve sekonder otalji olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu nedenle çocuklarda kulak ağrısına yaklaşım kulak muayenesi dışında diğer sistemleri de içermeli ve tedavi buna göreplanlanmalıdır.
