How can you tell if a one year old baby has otitis media?

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.

Infants and young children under the age of 1 years will have the following symptoms in the early stages of otitis media:

1. No pus: the most common in clinical practice, there is no pus in the ear when otitis media occurs. However, young children often grasp their ears with their hands, and their sensitivity to sound is lower than in the past.

2. Pus flow: the development of the eustachian tube in young children is not perfect, in the case of cold and fever, accompanied by rhinitis, when the feeding posture is incorrect, it can produce choking, and the milk flows into the ear from the nasopharyngeal cavity, resulting in otitis media, which is manifested as pus symptoms.

Therefore, it is best to hold the infant upright when breastfeeding, which can reduce the incidence of otitis media.

To determine whether a child has otitis media, the child will usually say that he or she is not hearing well, he or she cannot hear clearly, or that his ears are ringing and his ears are painful.

If the child has otitis media, it is caused by ear pain, and the one-year-old child will not express it, and will generally scratch the ear with his hand, and there will be a crying phenomenon, at this time, the child should be taken to the hospital otolaryngology department to see if there is edema and inflammation in the ear.

Due to the language barrier and comprehension ability, the baby is sometimes unable to accurately describe his condition, which may be manifested as crying and restlessness.

Cause analysis. With the continuous development of medicine, the diagnosis of otitis media is becoming more and more accurate and rapid, and the baby is suspected of having otitis media. You can go to the otolaryngology department for examination and diagnosis in time.

Initiatives are proposed. For babies, if they suffer from otitis media and do not carry out timely treatment, they are prone to hearing loss and dizziness and headaches, so they need to be treated in time.

Baby otitis media is mainly caused by the following ways: 1. The way of the eustachian tube is the most important inducing factor, due to upper respiratory tract infection, including rhinitis, sinusitis and other diseases, as well as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, bronchitis and other inflammatory infections, can enter the tympanic cavity retrograde through the eustachian tube to induce acute secretory otitis media, acute purulent otitis media, etc. Some patients have adenoid hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy obstructs the eustachian tube pharyngeal opening, which can also induce secretory otitis media and is easy to reverse, and the effect is not very good.

2. The main ways of the external auditory canal are cerumen of the external auditory canal, foreign bodies in the external auditory canal induce otitis externa, and the further development of lesions induces myringitis and even otitis media, etc., as well as tympanic membrane perforation caused by inadvertent trauma and other factors, thereby inducing otitis media. 3. Primary factors, some patients have congenital cholesteatoma and other related diseases, otitis media can occur, and there can be no tympanic membrane perforation in the early stage, but there will be changes such as hearing loss.

If a one-year-old baby has otitis media, it can be caused by many conditions; It is necessary to choose a reasonable local plan according to the specific situation of the patient's midsection, if it is the patient's secretory otitis media, the patient can be observed or conservative, and it is recommended that the suspect follow the doctor's instructions.

Acute otitis media caused by common colds in children, long-term rhinitis, sinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy are also common causes of acute otitis media. The vast majority of secretory otitis media in children is also caused by long-term rhinitis, sinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy. Chronic otitis media is often secondary to acute otitis media, trauma to the outer ear and tympanic dust membrane can also cause chronic otitis media, and bacteria entering the middle ear through the tympanic membrane ventilation tube after tympanic tube placement can also cause chronic otitis media.

Due to individual differences, there is no absolute best, fastest and most effective medication, except for commonly used over-the-counter drugs, the most suitable drug should be selected under the guidance of a doctor in full combination with the individual's brightness condition. Children with otitis media should be treated with adequate antibiotics or other drugs in a timely manner to control the infection, and must ensure thoroughness**. After the tympanic membrane is perforated, pus should be taken for bacterial culture and drug susceptibility testing, and the medication should be adjusted according to the results of Zen Yin.

A one-year-old baby is already babbling, but he is not able to express his discomfort or pain. Therefore, once the baby is uncomfortable, all he does is cry or be irritable. Otitis media is an inflammation that occurs in the baby's middle ear, and the symptoms cannot be seen on the surface, but if you look closely at the baby's mothers, you can still see the baby's discomfort symptoms, so what are the symptoms of otitis media in one-year-old babies?

Otitis media is not like a cold and fever, it can be seen at once. Some babies are still young and will not clearly indicate "earache", so it is not easy for parents to notice. If your baby has any of the following symptoms, then he may be suffering from otitis media.

1. Fever: When the baby has a fever for more than 3 consecutive days, and the fever does not go away after taking medicine, it is necessary to consider that the baby may suffer from otitis media, and go to the otolaryngology department for examination as soon as possible.

2. Scratching the ears: If the baby keeps touching the ears, scratching the ears, and pulling the ears, you should think about whether he has otitis media.

3. Shaking the head: When you find that the baby is restless and shaking his head, you should think that his ears may be uncomfortable.

4. Crying: The child suddenly becomes irritable, loves to cry, and always has a bad night's sleep, so take him to the doctor immediately.

5. Hydrops in the ears: When you find that there is yellow secretion flowing out, you should pay attention.

6. Poor hearing: Exudate in the eardrum can lead to hearing loss. If you notice that your baby is slow to respond to your call, and you call him a few times and ignore him, take him to an otolaryngologist as soon as possible.

As a parent, you must carefully observe your baby, once you find that the baby has these symptoms mentioned in this article, you need to be vigilant immediately, and you need to carefully check whether the baby's body is abnormal, so as to ensure that the baby's otitis media is effective in the first time.

The symptoms of otitis media in babies under the age of one year are mainly manifested as unexplained ear scratching, shaking head, irritability, crying, and even refusal to milk caused by earache, systemic symptoms are fever, body temperature can reach more than 39 degrees, and some can even have febrile convulsions, and are often accompanied by symptoms of gastrointestinal poisoning, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In the case of secondary bacterial infection, there may be pus from the external auditory canal, which is pus and blood at the beginning and gradually thickens yellow in the later stage. If the baby has the above situation, it is necessary to give symptomatic anti-infection ** in time to avoid serious complications.

One-year-old baby otitis media is likely to cause inflammation and cause other sequelae seriously, so it is the best thing to go to the hospital in time, and do not delay.

Less than a year old baby body organs are still very weak, at this time parents a little careless or not careful, the baby will have a variety of problems. For example, if you have intestinal problems, or you have problems with your eyes and ears. Otitis media is a common ear problem in many babies, so what causes otitis media in infants?

There are many reasons for otitis media in babies, such as some bacterial infections, parents do not pay attention when cleaning the baby's ears, which will allow bacteria to invade the baby's ears and cause otitis media. If the baby's environment is relatively harsh, such as the climate is very cold, parents do not pay attention to keeping the baby warm, it will also lead to otitis media.

When the baby has otitis media, he will feel very painful in the ear, and there will be itching, and some babies will scratch because of the itchy ear, which is easy to cause infection and fever. If parents find that their baby's ears are pus and their hearing is not very good, they should consider that it may be caused by otitis media and need to go to the hospital for examination**.

When the baby has otitis media, the first thing parents should do is to check what causes it, and only in this way can they ** the baby's otitis media according to the cause. The baby's diet during treatment needs to be lighter, do not eat too greasy and fried food, and avoid aggravation of otitis media caused by fire.

Otitis media is a relatively common type of otolaryngological disease, if a one-year-old child has otitis media, first of all, you need to look at the specific type and degree of otitis media, generally speaking, acute otitis media and secretory otitis media are more common, in terms of diagnosis, you can take into account otolaryngology visits, do ear endoscopy, blood routine testing, you can preliminarily judge the type and extent of the specific condition.

If it is acute otitis media, it is generally related to bacterial infection and inflammation, and antibiotics can be considered to fight infection, the more commonly used is cephalosporins, or penicillin antibiotics, in the process of **, you need to review regularly, observe the **effect**, the **cycle is generally about a week, and you need to keep the external auditory canal dry, can not enter the water.

The eustachian tube of infants and young children is particularly short, wide and flat, the mouth of the tube is often open, and it is just connected to the middle ear, if a bacterial infection occurs, it is easy to infect the middle ear through the eustachian tube, thus causing otitis media.

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. Because your baby's eustachian tube is short, thick, and horizontal, germs can easily reach the middle ear.

Upper respiratory tract infection: The main causes of otitis media are upper respiratory tract infection, after which the inflammation of the nose and pharynx will spread to the Eustachian tube, invade the middle ear, and lead to middle ear infection.

It is recommended to clean the baby's external ear canal in time, and if the situation is serious, or you don't know how to clean it, you should go to an otologist in time to clean it.

What are the susceptible children to otitis media? Otitis media is inflammation of the mucosa of the tympanic chamber of the middle ear, usually caused by bacterial infection. Otitis media usually occurs in children under 8 years of age, but also in other age groups, and is often a painful complication of an upper respiratory tract infection such as the common cold or throat infection.

So what are the ** children who are susceptible to otitis media? The following is an introduction to the ** of children suffering from otitis media.

What are the susceptible children to otitis media?

1. The position of the eustachian tube in children is low and flat, the lumen is short and thick, and it is easy to choke on breast milk in the supine position, so that the milk enters the middle ear by mistake;

2. The cartilage part of the eustachian tube is weak and cannot be opened on its own;

3. The development of the middle ear immune system is not perfect;

4. Edema and hyperplasia of tonsils after infection are easy to block the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube;

5. Bacteria and viruses remain in the adenoids, which can directly or indirectly cause middle ear infection;

6. The mastoid air chamber is underdeveloped, and the air reserve is insufficient;

Children under the age of age often have interstitial or inner bud tissue, which is flap-like obstruction of the Eustachian tube;

8. Children are susceptible to nasal and upper respiratory tract diseases, which affect the function of eustachian tubes;

9. The central nervous system of children is in the stage of development, with poor regulatory function, low immunity, and easy to suffer from upper respiratory tract diseases.

Otitis media is caused by bacterial and viral infections and can be caused by colds, flu, sinusitis, and other diseases. In infection, the pathogen invades the middle ear through the eustachian tube, or causes congestion and swelling of the eustachian tube, which makes the flow of exudate obstructed, and eventually causes symptoms of middle ear infection.

In terms of symptom description, there are many types of otitis media, and one and a half year old children have otitis media, the most likely thing is to consider acute otitis media, which is anti-inflammatory, and the use of topical drugs for the ears can effectively relieve the symptoms. Penicillin and cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs are preferred for topical drug allergies.

At this time, the baby's middle ear can be infected through the eustachian tube, resulting in otitis media. Second, pay attention to whether the baby's resistance is reduced, and if there is a bacterial infection, especially a bloodstream infection.

It is also common for babies to suffer from orange disease, but parents who are not careful will find out when they are sick relatively late, resulting in damage to the baby's body, and it will be more troublesome when it is **, prolonging the recovery time. So what are the symptoms of otitis media in 1-month-old babies?

If the baby suffers from otitis media, there will be a bad mental state, decreased appetite, hearing loss and so on, and the baby's ears will also be uncomfortable, but the old man is two months younger, and he will not be able to express himself in words, the baby's sleep quality will be affected, and when playing with the baby, he will also find that the mental state is not very good.

With otitis media, the baby will have a fever, the body temperature is about 39 degrees to 40 degrees, the baby will cry, there will be vomiting, the symptoms of diarrhea are also more obvious, it seems to be more like the symptoms of enteritis and cold, so it needs to be correctly distinguished by examination, if there is eardrum congestion, the appearance of red and swollen ossicle, then the baby has otitis media.

During the severe period of otitis media in the baby, there will be body fever, the complexion is relatively poor, and the earache will radiate like all around, there will be pus in the middle ear, when the baby's body temperature will drop at home in the later stage, the body will slowly recover, at this time the eardrum will burst, and the pus will flow out with the ear, at this time the baby's hearing is still not very good.
