Be aware that ear ache is very common especially in children. The most common cause of earache is infection. We have to note that there are different types of ear problems ranging from pains in the ear which may be caused by infections of the tonsils, jaws or
sinuses. Also chronic infections like glue ear, can lead to hearing loss which in turn can affect the person's ability to learn and disrupt lifestyle and exposure to loud noise can also damage hearing. Along with infections, dermatitis can occur in the ear as a result of reactions to topical medicines, wearing jeweler, applying excessive cosmetics and methacrylate ear plugs.
