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

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.

Baby illness is also common, but parents are not careful will find out when they are sick late, resulting in the baby's body being harmed, and it will be more troublesome when it is **, prolonging the recovery time. So what are the symptoms of otitis media in 2-month-old babies?

If the baby suffers from otitis media, there will be a bad mental state, decreased appetite, hearing loss and so on, the baby's ears will also be uncomfortable, but two months is relatively small, will not be expressed in words, the baby's sleep quality will be affected, and usually play with the baby 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.

The main symptoms of otitis media in infants and young children are still earache and hearing loss, but because there is no speech formation in children at this stage, most of them are manifested as scratching the ears with hands, because severe earache can cause crying.

The main symptom of the baby's otitis media is the phenomenon of earache, as a child often earache is not very accurate, sometimes it will be manifested as crying, and scratching the ears and scratching the ears, so at this time parents should pay special attention, especially after the child has a cold and fever, if the child cries, scratches the ears of these symptoms, must go to the otolaryngology department in time to check, at least to rule out whether there is otitis media. Because otitis media is not timely**, there is a possibility of suppuration, which can lead to perforation of the eardrum and affect the child's hearing. Therefore, if there is such a manifestation, especially after a cold and fever, you must pay attention to the hospital in time, and if you have otitis media, you should take medication in time, including ear drops and may need oral antibiotics**, so that the inflammation can be controlled in time, so as not to lead to tympanic membrane perforation and suppuration.

The two-month-old baby can't speak, and the otitis media can't be expressed, so the family needs to pay attention to the child's condition, check whether the ear has pus and water, whether there is inexplicable crying, fever, etc.

If the child is young, otitis media may not be expressed, at this time, adults need to pay attention to the child's condition, check whether the ears have pus and water, or whether they cry and scratch their ears, whether there is an unexplained fever, etc.

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.
