In addition, if milk spills into the ears during breastfeeding, or water enters the ears when bathing and washing hair, it may cause otitis media, etc.

    I haven't had a baby in over 6 months. If your baby has started teething, the eruption of baby teeth can sometimes cause your baby to pull his ears. We need to understand the specific reasons above, and if there is inflammation, we need to be timely**.

    Take your baby out often, participate in outdoor activities appropriately, bask in the sun, and keep fit. When the weather gets cold, you should add clothes to your baby in time to prevent catching a cold.

    2.Try not to go to crowded places and poor air to prevent cross-infection. Some babies like to scratch their ears and even scratch their ears for bleeding.

Considering the child's poor ear hygiene, earwax clumping or otitis media, it is recommended to take the child to the otolaryngology department of a regular hospital for otoscopy. If there is a lump of earwax, they can take it out, and if it is inflammation, they can take an anti-inflammatory drug orally.

    The baby's chewing ability is not so strong, and the joint strength is not enough when eating milk and complementary foods, and it is not easy to pass earwax.

    4.There may be cases where "some earwax falls off but cannot be ruled out". It lands on your baby's external ear canal, making your baby feel uncomfortable and scratching.

    That liquid came from **? For example, milk when taking milk, bath water during bathing, tears, sweat, etc. Accidentally got into your baby's ear.

    However, in this case, the baby will also cry severely, be irritable, do not eat while feeding, and even vomit, fever, etc. It is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and not be sloppy.
