Hi , My grandaughter who is 3yrs has a bead stuck in her ear, it has been there for a week now and is waiting for an appointment to have it removed at theatre. The problem we have now is that every evening when she goes to bed she is up again being sick. would this be the bead causing this??? She is not eating or drinking either now am worried!!!
Hello, Yes, it can cause illness. Bead stuck in ear can cause lack of ventilation in middle ear, can lead to colonization of bacteria, leads to ear infection which can cause pus. It may lead to fever, ear ache, sleep disturbances, lack of appetite. Plan for early removed of bead, also may require antibiotic treatment if any infection is there. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
