Children around 7 months old suffer from otitis media, and we must seize the best opportunity. Parents should take their children to a specialized pediatric hospital for diagnosis and**.

Babies suffering from otitis media should drink more water to promote excretion, and you can drink a little chaihu granules. Otitis media refers to an inflammatory reaction in the middle ear cavity. Otitis media is often complicated by colds in children, so 80% of children will have otitis media more than once before the age of three, which is the most common cause of hearing loss in children, but it is often overlooked.

The age of the child is between 6 and 18 months, and the baby will not express it well, so it is worth paying attention to the fact that children at this age are prone to otitis media when they have a cold.

Because the eustachian tube in children is relatively short, wide and straight, and the children's body resistance is weak, they are prone to upper respiratory tract infections such as acute rhinitis and tonsillitis, and bacteria can easily enter the middle ear from the eustachian tube, causing purulent otitis media. The eustachian tube in children is short and flat, and the bacteria in the nasopharynx are more likely to enter the middle ear, making it very easy for children to be complicated by acute otitis media once they have an upper respiratory tract infection.

Baby otitis media should be timely**, so as not to perforate the eardrum and affect hearing, usually do not pick the baby's earwax, and try not to pour water into the ears when bathing. Most babies with otitis media, due to weak constitution, repeated colds, or oral infections, bacteria enter the inner ear along the eustachian tube, causing inflammation. Prevention of otitis media starts with the prevention of colds and other respiratory infections, teaching children to wash their hands frequently, not to share food and drink, and other prevention methods.

Because children's Eustachian tubes are short, they are more likely to become clogged than adolescents and adults. When the Eustachian tube is blocked, fluid accumulates, creating conditions for bacteria to multiply. After the pus is formed, the body will try to fight the infection, as more and more pus collects, it will hit the eardrum, causing pain, if the baby otitis media** is not complete, it may not heal, and the lesion will turn into chronic otitis media.

Long-term negative tympanic pressure will cause tympanic effusion, secretory otitis media, which is manifested as ear stuffiness, hearing loss, and slow response to children's calls.

When the baby suffers from otitis media, because he can't speak, he can't clearly express his discomfort, resulting in parents not being able to clearly know the baby's symptoms. If the baby has otitis media, it will be difficult for parents to notice, which will lead to the baby's delay. So, how to treat otitis media in children?

When the baby suffers from otitis media in the early stage, the baby will have a lack of energy, loss of appetite, and ears will also have tinnitus, ear discomfort and other symptoms. In this case, the baby will be very irritable and especially used to crying. When the baby's ear is found to have fluid accumulation through a doctor's examination, parents need to actively cooperate with the doctor** to help the baby recover as soon as possible.

Mothers should observe the cleanliness of the baby's external ear canal and ears at any time, and clean up the purulent discharge in the baby's ears when they are found. You can also properly drop a little medicine in the baby's ear canal, and when you give the child medicine, you can let the baby's head tilt to one side and then drop the medicine. Maintain a certain inclination and try to let the liquid flow into the ear canal smoothly and reach the affected area.

Babies suffering from otitis media should also pay attention to a light daily diet, try to give the baby easy to digest and nutritious food, and give the baby more fresh vegetables and fruits. Give your child more water to drink, such as honeysuckle water, mung bean soup, etc., which can help the baby clear the fire and poison.

Once an infant is found to have otitis media, he or she should go to the hospital for examination**. In the case of acute purulent otitis media before the tympanic membrane is perforated, antibiotics are needed promptly, so that inflammation can be controlled quickly and perforation can be avoided.

Initiatives are proposed. After the baby has otitis media, parents need to use drugs under the guidance of the doctor**, ear drops with external antibiotics for anti-inflammatory, if the symptoms are severe, surgery is required**.

Baby otitis media can be divided into two main types of otitis media, which are as follows:

1. Purulent otitis media, this kind of purulent otitis media is caused by acute infection, such as most often 2-3 days after the child has a cold, the cold begins to improve, but the ear hurts, often an acute lesion, acute infection, the child is in very severe pain, often crying, constantly scratching the ear, and even causing fever and convulsions. This is a relatively serious infectious disease, and it is necessary to rush to the hospital for emergency and examination**. Once the diagnosis is made, antibiotics should be administered**, and even infusions should be given to antibiotics, and ear drops should be administered**;

2. Secretory otitis media, this kind of otitis media is often caused by the nose, there are lesions in the child's nose, such as ordinary rhinitis caused by upper respiratory tract infection, the most common child has adenoid hypertrophy, blocking the middle ear and nasopharyngeal ventilation hole, which will cause the child's ears to be stuffy and blocked. In severe cases, there will be chronic pain, the pain is not too severe, but the duration is relatively long, the child generally does not cry, but keeps scratching the ear, uncomfortable, often accompanied by mild hearing loss at this time. If you look closely, you can see an inverted eardrum, but you can find a lesion in the inside of the nasal cavity or adenoids.

It is necessary to go to the hospital for a sound conductance test, through which the sound conductance test can be used to check whether there is negative pressure in the child's middle ear. Pain caused by negative pressure tends to be less severe and is done through the nose or adenoids, not the ear, at which point there is no need to put medicine into the ear.
