Doctor checks ears with otoscope from "summary" of My First Trip to the Doctor by Katie Kawa

During your visit to the doctor, the doctor will use a special tool called an otoscope to check your ears. The otoscope has a light at the end and a magnifying glass to help the doctor see inside your ears clearly. This tool allows the doctor to look for any signs of infection, blockages, or other issues that may be causing you discomfort. The doctor will gently pull on your ear to straighten out the ear canal before inserting the otoscope. This helps the doctor get a better view of your eardrum and the ear canal. As the doctor looks inside your ear, they may ask you to stay still and not move to ensure they get an accurate examination. The doctor will also be looking for any redness, swelling, discharge, or other abnormalities in your ear. If the doctor notices anything unusual, they may recommend further testing or treatment to address the issue. It's important to let the doctor know if you have been experiencing any pain, hearing loss, or other symptoms related to your ears. After the doctor has finished examining your ears with the otoscope, they will discuss their findings with you and may provide recommendations for next steps. Remember, getting your ears checked regularly is an important part of staying healthy and ensuring that any potential issues are addressed promptly. So, the next time the doctor checks your ears with the otoscope, you'll know what to expect.
