Case study: 13 year old client presented with ear pain. Client was given containing and
Client noted the pain went away within 30 minutes and was only experiencing a pressure. The next day the client had one more dose and was relieved of the pressure.
Months later client came back with more ear pain. Otoscope was used without any significant findings. Ear oil was used, but client said the pain persisted.
I then used a bluetooth camera otoscope to take a further look. Upon entering the ear canal I spotted a foreign object. Using a scraping tool, I extracted the object which turned out to be remanence of cotton from a cotton swab that appeared to become infected. Once the cotton had been cleared from the ear the client no longer experienced pain.
