Baby's first year : Ear Infections

Ear infections are common in babies and children. They mostly follow a cold or a cough as there is a small tube extending between the throat and the ear through which infection can pass rapidly.

Symptoms:

These include a very painful ear, raised temperature and partial deafness. Young babies will generally feel uncomfortable, unwell and will cry a lot. If your baby can't talk yet, pulling and tugging at the ear could be a sign that he is suffering from ear infection, especially if it is after an attack of cold.

Treatment:

The doctor may prescribe some drops if necessary. For an older child, you can place a covered hot water bottle under the affected ear. For a young baby, you can use a warm cloth instead. If the ear is very painful, you can use the recommended dose of paracetamol.
