What are the symptoms of otitis media in babies over two months old?

Mothers sometimes find that babies always pick their own ears, and then look at the ears, there are no abnormal symptoms. At this time, mothers should be careful, the baby may have otitis media. So what are the symptoms of otitis media in babies?

In general, your baby's symptoms vary from stage to stage.

1. Early symptoms (medically known as Eustachian tube obstruction): children show lack of energy, loss of appetite, tinnitus, ear discomfort, etc. (children will not express), but the discomfort of the ears will affect the baby's play and sleep. During this examination, doctors may find an inverted eardrum (medically called eardrum) and fluid in the middle ear.

2. Symptoms in the advanced stage (medically called pre-suppuration): manifested as high fever, body temperature up to 39 40, children crying, hearing loss and earache, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms. These manifestations resemble a cold or enteritis and are easily overlooked or misdiagnosed.

On examination, the eardrum may be congested, and the ossicle may be red and swollen, and bulging.

3. Peak symptoms (medically called purulent period): high fever in children, refusal to eat, gray complexion in severe cases, fluctuating tinnitus, hearing loss and earache radiating around. Examination may reveal a bulging eardrum and empyema in the middle ear.

4. Late symptoms (medically called dissipation period): Generally, after 4-5 days of illness, the child's body temperature drops, the earache disappears, and he can fall asleep, but the eardrum ruptures, pus flows out of the ear canal, and tinnitus and hearing loss still exist.

Young parents should be vigilant, the baby must see a doctor after getting otitis media, follow the doctor's instructions seriously, and cannot take anti-inflammatory drugs on their own to delay the condition.

Symptoms vary slightly depending on different types of otitis media. Typical symptoms of suppurative otitis media include earache, hearing loss, discharge of water in the ear canal, pus, and even bleeding. Secretory otitis media is mostly manifested as ear pain, ear tightness, ear blockage, hearing loss or tinnitus.

In addition to the above typical symptoms, it can also be accompanied by fever, headache and other systemic symptoms. Symptoms: 1. Earache is more common in acute purulent otitis media, and the pain is more obvious when the tympanic membrane is hyperemia, and if it is accompanied by purulent discharge in the middle ear, it can be manifested as severe pain.

Some patients will experience a feeling of ear congestion. 2. Patients with suppurative otitis media with flowing water or purulent ear canal, when the eardrum is perforated, watery, bloody or purulent discharge will flow out of the ear canal. Ear canal discharge can be persistent or intermittent, with the former being more common in middle ear cholesteatomas, especially when the ear canal discharge is like tofu residue with a foul odor, and the latter is more common in chronic simple otitis media.

3. Most patients with hearing loss will be accompanied by varying degrees of hearing loss, especially patients with middle ear cholesteatoma, because the ossicular chain is destroyed by cholesteatoma, the hearing loss is more serious. 4. Some patients with tinnitus will be accompanied by low-key or high-profile tinnitus. In patients with secretory otitis media, when the nose is pinched and the air is puffed, the "sound of air passing through the water" in the ear will be heard.

Note: Some patients may have symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The symptoms of otitis media in 2-month-old babies are mainly as follows: 1. The symptoms of the ear itself, the common ones are pus in the ear canal, which are mostly discovered by parents inadvertently, and most of them appear unilaterally. A yellow, purulent discharge flows out of the ear canal and is often accompanied by a foul smell and a putrefactive substance.

Patients often scratch and scratch their ears, and if the patient is allergic, purulent secretions flow into the auricle, and the auricle may have eczema-like changes. 2. Systemic manifestations, patients may have generalized fever and malaise.

Otitis media in children is a relatively common clinical disease, first of all, it is necessary to look at the specific degree and type of disease, if the inflammatory response is relatively mild, it is indeed possible to recover on its own, but in the process of recovery, it is necessary to regularly review and observe the changes in the condition, if the inflammatory response is more severe and cannot recover on its own, it is necessary to consider drugs**, the more common is acute otitis media, or secretory otitis media.

Generally speaking, oral antibiotics can be considered, most patients ** cycle is about a week, and at the same time need to keep the external auditory canal dry, can not enter water, can not blow the nose vigorously, and need to try to avoid colds, through the standard drug ** can generally be gradually recovered.

In general, otitis media is divided into dry otitis media and wet otitis media, dry otitis media is mainly earache and tinnitus, and moist otitis media is mainly yellow or white discharge out of the ear.

1. Early stage of otitis media.

In the early stage of otitis media, the symptoms of babies are listlessness, loss of appetite, easy to scratch ears, easy to cry, and suddenly uneasy and pick ears when playing and sleeping. At this time, there is already fluid in the ear, and parents need to take their children to the doctor in time.

2. Advanced stage of otitis media.

If early otitis media is not detected by parents in time, there is a chance that it will develop into suppuration. At this time, the baby will have a fever, which can reach 40 in severe cases. Because of ear pain, babies will be prone to crying and hearing loss during this period.

It may also be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, which is similar to gastrointestinal inflammation. At this stage, the baby's eardrum begins to become congested and the ossicle is red and swollen, which can be confirmed by a doctor's examination.

3. Peak period of otitis media:

If otitis media is not properly treated in the advanced stage, the child will develop a high fever, not eating, obvious earache, and continuous crying. At this time, pus has begun to accumulate in the ears.

4. Late stage of otitis media.

About 5 days after the onset of otitis media, the baby's high fever will subside, and the ears will not be noisy and painful, but the eardrum will rupture and the ears will bleed pus.

If you have this symptom, don't ask about the performance, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination. This can't be delayed.

When the two-month-old baby has otitis media, there is generally pain, the child scratches the ear, crying, irritability, etc., and the ear, nose and throat specialist examination should be carried out to understand whether there is purulent discharge in the external auditory canal, and whether the eardrum is congested, perforated and pus.

The main cause of otitis media in children is infection, which is related to the spread of diseases of the respiratory tract, nose and pharynx, and otitis media. The main clinical manifestations are swelling pain or blockage in the ear area, hearing loss and tinnitus. Due to the immune and structural problems of children, the main problems are some skill disorders caused by infection, allergies, immune reactions and edema.

The symptoms of otitis media in two-month-old babies are mainly manifested as crying, reluctance to eat, scratching ears, etc., and there may be water and pus in the ears.

The symptoms of the ear itself, such as ear canal pus, are mostly discovered by parents inadvertently, and most of them appear unilaterally.

In general, the early symptoms of otitis media will be manifested as malaise and loss of appetite; There are also children who are relatively small and can't express themselves, so they scratch their ears and shake their heads, and they are especially prone to crying and are restless when they sleep. If this happens, it is recommended that parents take the ENT department of the local tertiary hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.

There are many types of otitis media, such as secretory, acute or chronic purulent. Generally, after suffering from this disease, patients will have ear pain, tinnitus, ear tightness, etc., and some patients will have hearing loss, pus and bleeding from the external auditory canal. Some patients have atypical symptoms caused by otitis media, and some will have one or two or three of the above symptoms, so patients need to go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations, such as electronic otoscopy or mastoid CT, to help identify specific lesions.

The baby's resistance is poor, so when the weather changes greatly, the baby is prone to various problems. Otitis media is a kind of ear disease that many babies will have, and parents need to take their babies to the hospital in time to check the cause after the baby has otitis media, according to the actual reason. So, what are the causes of otitis media in babies?

There are many reasons why babies develop otitis media, most of which are caused by respiratory infections. The weather changes greatly in the morning and evening, and when parents do not add or decrease clothes for the baby in time, the baby is prone to colds and upper respiratory tract infections, resulting in otitis media. Generally, babies with rhinitis are more likely to develop otitis media.

The problem of otitis media in babies is not only related to colds and rhinitis, but also related to other diseases of the baby. For example, if the baby's adenoids are enlarged, it can also cause some secretions, causing otitis media. In addition, if parents do not clean the baby's ears in time to avoid the bath water when bathing the baby, it is also easy to cause otitis media.

The above are several causes of otitis media in babies, if parents find that their babies always buckle their ears, and there are some secretions flowing out of the baby's ears, they need to be vigilant to see if there is otitis media. If it is otitis media, it must be immediately ** to avoid the severity of the disease.

Baby otitis media is generally caused by colds, colds, and upper respiratory tract infections, and the bacteria reach the middle ear through the eustachian tube, causing acute otitis media.

There are two main types of otitis media: purulent otitis media and catarrhal otitis media. Purulent otitis media, with pus in the ear, pain in the ear, perforation of the tympanic membrane, and even intracranial infection as the main manifestations, should be treated with anti-inflammatory **. In the acute exacerbation phase, penicillin and cephalosporins may be preferred for anti-inflammatory**.

Otitis media is a common ear disease in infants, if the baby suffers from otitis media, the mild symptoms are noise, scratching the ears and cheeks, etc., if the symptoms are more serious, there is a high fever, and the ears discharge yellow water. So, how is otitis media in infants caused?

Otitis media in infants is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infection, when the infection occurs, bacteria and viruses will reach the middle ear cavity through the eustachian tube, so that the mucosa of the middle ear cavity will swell, the secretion will increase, and a large accumulation of these bacteria and viruses will cause otitis media.

There is also a situation that babies often have some diseases and colds, and if they are not carried out in time after the occurrence of the disease cold, it will induce otitis media. At the same time, if the baby has water in his ears and does not clean it up in time, it can also cause otitis media. Water in a baby's ears may be after swimming, or after bathing and washing hair, so mothers should use a cotton swab to gently dry the remaining water in the baby's ears after these activities.

It is difficult for babies to express ear discomfort, so mothers often neglect to pay attention to the baby's ears, so it is easy to make otitis media difficult, so once the baby shows symptoms of otitis media, they should be vigilant and should be carried out as soon as possible for otitis media.

Hello, otitis media in two-month-old babies is generally an acute otitis media caused by a cold**.
