Your baby cannot point to where it hurts. But their body is always communicating, and ear infections are one of the most common things we see in infants and toddlers at Night Watch.
Here is what to watch for.
👉 Pulling or tugging at one or both ears
👉 Unusual fussiness or crying, especially at night
👉 Trouble sleeping or waking up more than usual
👉 Fever, particularly after a cold or respiratory illness
👉 Fluid or discharge coming from the ear
👉 Not responding to sounds or seeming like they cannot hear well
👉 Refusing to eat, sucking and swallowing can put pressure on an infected ear and make feeding painful
One or two of these on their own might not mean much. But two or more showing up together, especially after a cold, is a good reason to come in and let us take a look.
Ear infections in babies and toddlers are very common, very treatable, and much easier to manage when caught early.
Walk in to Night Watch anytime. No appointment needed.
