Child Taking Augmentin For Pressure And Popping In Ears. The Eardrum Appears Dark. Why?
Took my son to the doctor today. He has been having pressure in his ears and popping during and after runs for soccer. Doctor removed lots of wax from one ear, but couldn t clear the other and said the eardrum appears dark. We are scheduled to see ENT in one week. Meanwhile, he is on augmentin 825 mg. What could be problem?

HI I have gone through your mail, as you said your child has popping in ears and after removing lot of wax your doctor said that ear drum of child is dark , By considering the version of your doctor means your child has acute otitis media and his ear drums are congested. you are advice to go for (1) X-Ray paranasal sinuses, Audiometery and approach to an E.N.T.specialist for better care as this case demands specialist care. Thanks.
