Because the baby is in the stage of growth and development. Baby's body is relatively fragile and has poor resistance, so it is inevitable that some situations will occur. If the baby has some abnormalities, it is important to seek timely diagnosis and treatment to avoid regretting for the rest of your life due to your lack of attention. What should I do if my baby has ear pain in the middle of the night? Let's chat together.
What should I do if my baby's ear hurts in the middle of the night
1. Pay attention to rest: Ensure adequate sleep time and quality, persist in exercising, and enhance the body's resistance.
2. Preventing colds: Preventing colds is the foundation of preventing otitis media. If you accidentally catch a cold, you should seek timely treatment. During a cold, the secretion in the nasal cavity will increase. At this time, it is not advisable to pinch the nostrils tightly and blow your nose, as this can increase the pressure on the nose and throat, allowing mucus and bacteria to enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube and cause otitis media infection. Ear canal cleaning solution can be used to prevent the occurrence of otitis media.
Reasons for Baby Ear Pain
1. Ear neuralgia: There are many nerves around the ear, and when exposed to strong and prolonged noise stimulation, there may be bursts of ear pain.
2. Otitis externa: When there is discomfort or itching in the ear, some people like to use nails, matchsticks, etc. to dig inside the ear. If dug too hard, it is easy to puncture the skin of the ear canal, causing skin infection and inflammation. This disease not only causes ear pain, but may also be accompanied by bleeding.
3. Ear herpes: This is related to viral infection. It is more common on the auricle, which is very uncomfortable, and a few people may also have symptoms such as hearing loss.
If a baby develops otitis media, it is important to seek timely treatment to avoid hearing loss due to inadequate treatment. In daily life, it is important to reduce the occurrence of internal heat in babies. When bathing or washing their hair, reduce the flow of sewage into their ears to avoid causing otitis media.
