Otitis media in children is a disease that babies are prone to during their early childhood. But when babies suffer from otitis media, parents often find it difficult to detect, which can delay treatment. This can easily cause significant harm to the baby's health. To detect whether a baby has otitis media as early as possible in daily parenting, it is necessary to understand its symptoms. So, what are the symptoms of otitis media in babies?
The main symptom of a baby with otitis media is ear pain. But often babies are young and cannot express themselves, so their specific manifestations are abnormal crying and sometimes scratching their ears. So as parents, we must be careful and alert if our baby shows these movements. This is also one of the most common external symptoms when a baby has middle ear inflammation.
When middle ear inflammation is severe, it can also cause fever in the baby's body. If otitis media is not treated in a timely manner, suppuration may occur, leading to fever and fever in the body due to inflammation. And severe suppuration can lead to tympanic membrane perforation, which is bound to cause hearing loss in infants.
Therefore, in daily parenting, it is important to pay more attention. If there is suspicion of middle ear inflammation, it is necessary to promptly go to the ear, nose, and throat department of the hospital for examination to rule out whether the baby has middle ear inflammation. In addition, when bathing babies in daily life, it is important to avoid getting water into their ears, which can also prevent them from developing otitis media.
