Hello, I am writing to you because I don't know where to look for help anymore. My 11-year-old daughter has had ear drainage twice at the age of 3 and 6. From now on, the tympanometry results are ok and the daughter has no problems with exudates. But we are bothered by the problem that the daughter often hurts her left ear, it is a very strong pain - the daughter then takes strong painkillers (ibuprom in a large dose) and her head hurts when she has earache. We have already been to 2 different ENT specialists who ruled out otitis (I try to see the doctor on the day or the day after the symptoms appeared) the pain is really very sharp and intense. Laryngologists spread their hands because the ear is clean. We also went to the dentist to check if it was a tooth, but also ok. Please give me a hint, because I have the impression that the pediatrician and ENT doctor suspect that my daughter is simulating, and I see her getting tired and taking another painkiller.

This is otalgia, an earache given beyond the ear itself. You have to look for the reason beyond the ear.

Yours sincerely

Prof. A. Chairs
