Even though the attack Of fever has been very
mild and the little patient hardly sick at all. there
may be serious trouble in the ear. The parent
should be on the outlook for trouble and report
it to the doctor as early as possible.
Sometimes the child seems to be almost or
quite well. All at once he becomes irritable and
the fever returns. There is extreme restlessness.
Occasionally the child cries out suddenly, or may
continue to cry.
When there are paroxysms of crying with
no apparent cause in a child who has been sick,
do not fail to examine the ear. All too often
that is the seat of the trouble.
Earache is bad enough in an adult. IL you
ever had it you have an idea how terrible it is
