I'm really worried because I've been having this pain in my left ear and the area around it, and it feels like my head's really heavy on the left side, almost numb sometimes. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Possible Symptoms*

If your child has ingested a small particle, they may experience:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhea or abdominal pain
  • Dizziness or lethargy
  • Headache

Medical Attention

Even if your child seems fine, it's crucial to consult a doctor. Take your child to:

  1. Nearest pediatric emergency department
  2. Local hospital with a pediatric ward

The doctor may:

  1. Monitor your child's vital signs
  2. Perform a physical examination
  3. Run some tests (e.g., blood tests)
  4. Provide supportive care (e.g., hydration, anti-nausea medication)

Prevention

To avoid such accidents in the future:

  1. Keep medications out of reach
  2. Store medications in child-resistant containers
  3. Supervise your child closely when taking medications

Stay calm and seek medical attention immediately. The healthcare team will assess your child's condition and provide guidance on the next steps.

I have DNS and trouble breathing through my nose, no sneezing though. Can you check the CT scan I attached and let me know if I really need septoplasty surgery?

A deviated septum, causing nasal obstruction and breathing difficulty, may or may not require surgery. A CT scan can help assess the severity of the deviation and guide treatment decisions. If the deviation is significant and causing symptoms like difficulty breathing, chronic sinus infections, or nasal obstruction impacting quality of life, septoplasty surgery might be recommended. However, if the deviation is mild and not causing significant symptoms, surgery might not be necessary. A consultation with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist is crucial to determine the best course of action based on your specific situation and the CT scan results.
