Earache And Its Treatment

Earache is one of the very frequent reasons for seeing kids in the ER, affirms Dr. Francisco Medina, Director of Pediatric Emergency Services and Chief of Pediatrics at Homestead Hospital. The specialist also talks about fractures and back pain in kids and says it is more related to the stress of the back due to some sports activities or a fall. He considers the most important thing is if there's a neurological problem due to the fractures, because if it involves arms, legs or any other part of the body, that can be a problem.
