1. If water gets into the ears and is not dried, the baby is prone to otitis media

If fluid accumulates in the middle ear for a long time, it can easily induce otitis media. When the mother is bathing the baby, the bath water always easily enters the ear, and the liquid often accumulates in the baby's middle ear. Another situation is after a cold, some fluid often accumulates in the middle ear. If bacteria infect the accumulated fluid, it can easily cause symptoms such as ear pain, baby crying and restlessness, fever, etc., which can easily lead to acute otitis media.

For some breastfed babies, if the mother's feeding posture is improper or the milk flows out too quickly and the baby does not have time to swallow, the milk can enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube and cause acute otitis media.

Various types of otitis media always attack babies. Since it is difficult for babies to describe symptoms such as ear pain, stuffy ears or hearing loss, it is often missed or misdiagnosed clinically. Parents are also prone to ignore it, and it can easily turn into chronic otitis media which is more difficult to treat. Therefore, if your baby often exhibits strange behaviors such as shaking his head or scratching his ears with his hands, he may be in the early stages of otitis media; if the condition is more serious, he will have a high fever and yellow fluid will flow from his ears. Parents should also pay attention to their baby's hearing performance on a daily basis. If there are any abnormalities, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment and worsening the condition.

2. If water gets into the baby’s ears, what should the mother do?

If water gets into the baby's ears, the mother should use a soft cotton swab in time, expand the cotton on the head to make it fluffy, gently insert it into the ear and rotate it, but not too deep. The premise is to make sure the baby's head is fixed and cannot move. If there is still a bad smell after wiping it dry several times, you should go to the hospital for ear medicine. If the baby cannot cooperate, please do not clean the baby's ears easily, otherwise there is a risk of perforation of the eardrum.

Specific steps:

(1) Roll a clean, soft, absorbent cotton fabric, or soft, strong cotton paper, into a wick (do not use a cotton swab or tissue paper with a pointed tip, as this may fall into the ear canal. Do not use any kind of small stick).

(2) Place the wick into the child’s ear. Remove the wick if it is wet.

(3) Replace the wick with a clean one. Repeat these steps at least 3 times a day until the ear is no longer wet and pus no longer drains from the ear (usually 7-10 days).

What are the dangers of whitening injections?

Whitening injections need to be injected into the blood. If the whitening injections have not been inspected by the health and safety department, they will not have the most basic safety guarantees when used. Even if a certain whitening injection can have a whitening effect, such effect will be negligible compared to the safety of the body. In addition, if the whitening injection may contain steroid hormones, long-term use may cause hormone dependence and hormone dermatitis, causing irreparable damage to skin health.
