What is the cause of the child's ear pain?

Generally speaking, children's reactions to illness are quite obvious. Once they feel pain in a certain part of their body, they will basically tell their parents by crying loudly. In life, babies often have symptoms of ear pain, mainly manifested as tinnitus, ear pain, and hearing loss. There are many reasons for children's ear pain. Next, let us understand the reasons for baby's ear pain.

1. The baby has physical defects or the breastfeeding position is inappropriate. If you hold your baby horizontally to breastfeed or lie flat to suck from a bottle, milk can easily enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube and cause infection.

2. Cold factors

Children's Eustachian tubes are shorter and wider than those of adults. Therefore, fluids in children's oral and nasal cavities can easily flow back into the middle ear cavity, causing middle ear infections. At the same time, children's low resistance can easily induce upper respiratory tract infections and even lead to acute suppurative otitis media.

3. Water in the ears

Do not use hard objects to pick your ears to prevent damage to the eardrum. Because children's Eustachian tubes are shorter, wider and straighter, infections can easily enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube. If not treated in time, the pus in the middle ear cavity may break through the tympanic membrane and flow out due to increased pressure. Therefore, children should pay more attention to preventing water from entering their ears when swimming.

4. Infection

Precautions

First of all, it is important to remember that the key to treating acute otitis media is to clear the middle ear effusion and improve middle ear ventilation and drainage. At this time, parents should urge their children to strengthen physical exercise to prevent colds. If a child suffers from acute rhinitis or pharyngitis, he or she should be treated early and actively

Secondly, pay attention to the correct way to blow your nose, block one nostril and blow the other nostril, pay attention to diet and rest, and try to avoid flying during illness, especially when nasal congestion symptoms are severe.
