CANADIAN MEDICAL .ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES 1N CANADA EARACHE Earaches occur at all ages, but children suffer mare frequently than adults. The pain varies from a dull ache to an excruciatingly sharp one. There is no relation between the sev- erity of the pain and the gravity of tate cause. A boil in the external can- al, which is not as a rule serious, causes a particluarly severe pain, while a dangerous mastoid may give rise to nothing worse than a dull' ache, Earache may be due to an irrita- tion or inflammation of the canal which leads from the outside to the ear drtini. Any foreign body which lodges in the canal will likely cause irritation. Children are apt to poke things into their ears and some of PGE TMR ►eN t e�r•1 1 ,designed ,or fly ro Se ice .n ; oaa►ranteeii fp a Carton o/ 3Lr &amps 47 the (House Wingham Utilities Commission Crawford Block.

Forgotten pledgets of cotton wool are • not infrequently found in the ears of adults, causing earache. A collection of wax, press- ing on the drum, causes pain. Infections, such as boils in the can- al, are particularly painful because the lining menibrance adheres closely to the cartilage leaving but little room for swelling. This means pressure, and pressure on nerve endings means severe pain. Behind the drum lies the middle eat which is connected with the throat by the eustachian tubes. Otitis media, or inflammation, of the middle ear is the most common cause of se- vere earache and it is always preced- ed by some infection of. the nose and throat such as the common cold' or influenza. It is especially prevalent in children up to puberty because of dis- eased tonsils and adenoids, together with an eustachian tube which is com- paratively short and wide at that age. Otitis media should be thought of when the cause is being sought of an unexplained fever, restlessness at night, crying or occasional screaming, usually the diseased ear is kept next the pillow and the child often pulls at the ear. When the drun. ruptures or is opened, (paracentesis) there is im- mediate relief as the pus escapes and pressure is relieved. In the infection spreads back, the mastoid becomes involved and this brings the infection close to the men- inges or lining membrane of the brain. worn E The pain over the mastoid'bone, be- hind the ear, may be severe or may be only a dull ache. A well -wrapped hot-water bottle may be applied to relieve the pain. Nothing should be put into the ear, excepting by a doctor's order. Many earaches and ear troubles in children would be avoided by keep- ing the nose and throat healthy, by removal of diseased tonsils and aden- oids and by the proper treatment of colds.
