chances are; your baby will get an ear infectionat some point. about 75 percent of kids get them before they're 3 years old. ear infectionsoften begin after a cold when fluid gets trapped in the middle ear and becomes infected bya virus or bacteria. your baby pulling at her ear is not a very reliable sign that shehas an infection. so look for these instead. she's crying more than usual. ear infectionsare painful, so your baby may seem fuzzy and have trouble sleeping. an infection is especiallylikely if your baby becomes upset when she's lying down. she's had a cold for several daysand now she seems like she's in pain. if your child has cold symptoms, and then suddenlyseems more uncomfortable, have her ears checked. many children with ear infections will havefever ranging from 101 to 104. however, fever
alone does not mean that your child has anear infection. usually, they'll see other symptoms such as congestion, and ear paintoo. a doctor can check your baby's ears to see if she has an infection. if she's under6 months, they'll probably get a prescription for antibiotic. for older children, your pediatricianmay want to simply observe the ears to see if an infection will clear up on its own.acetaminophen or ibuprofen for babies older than 6 months can help relieve her pain andbring down her fever.
