Middle ear infection, also called otitis media, can be painful for children. This infection is caused when the fluid draining from your child’s ear gets blocked. This may happen when your child has a cold, allergy or the flu. The fluid build-up lets bacteria grow and puts pressure on your child’s eardrum.

Middle Ear Infection in Children

Middle ear infection, also called otitis media, can be painful for children. This
infection is caused when the fluid draining from your child’s ear gets blocked. This
may happen when your child has a cold, allergy or the flu. The fluid build-up lets
bacteria grow and puts pressure on your child’s eardrum.

Signs of a Middle Ear Infection
• Waking up at night crying
• Rubbing or pulling of the ear
• Trouble hearing
• Not wanting to eat
• Fever

Older children may complain of:
• Pain in the ear or jaw
• Ringing in the ear
• Feeling of motion or fullness in the ear
• Trouble hearing

• Fever

our Ch
Y
ild’s Care

Ear infections sometimes go away on their own, but it is best to see your child’s
doctor if signs last more than two days.
• Your doctor will look at your child’s ears and ask about his or her signs.
• Antibiotic medicine may be ordered. Be sure to give all of the medicine, even if
your child feels well.
• Do not put anything in your child’s ears including liquids, herbs or cotton-
tipped applicators unless directed to do so by your child’s doctor. They can
block the ear canal, causing a loss of hearing or infection.

Infección del oído medio en los niños

La infección del oído medio en los niños, también llamada otitis media, puede ser
dolorosa para los niños. Esta infección se produce cuando se obstruye el conducto
auditivo por el que pasa el lĂ­quido que secreta el oĂ­do de su hijo. Esto puede
suceder cuando su hijo se resfrĂ­a, tiene alergia o gripe. La acumulaciĂłn de lĂ­quido
permite el crecimiento de las bacterias y provoca presiĂłn sobre el tĂ­mpano de su
hijo.

Señales de infección en el
oĂ­do medio

OĂ­do
• despertar a media noche llorando;
externo
• frotarse o tirar de los oídos;
• problemas para escuchar;
Conducto
• no desear comer;
auditivo
externo
• fiebre.

TĂ­mpano
Los niños más grandes se pueden
quejar de:

• dolor en el oído o mandíbula;
• zumbido en el oído;
• sensación de movimiento o plenitud en los oídos;
• problemas para escuchar;

• fiebre.

l cuidado de su hijo
E

Las infecciones de los oĂ­dos algunas veces desaparecen solas, pero es mejor
consultar al médico de su hijo si los síntomas duran más de dos días.
• El médico examinará los oídos de su hijo y le preguntará por los síntomas.
• Le puede indicar antibióticos. Asegúrese de darle todo el medicamento, aunque
su hijo se sienta bien.
• No coloque nada en los oídos de su hijo, lo que incluye líquidos, hierbas o
aplicadores con la punta recubierta de algodĂłn a menos que se lo indique el
medico de su hijo. Éstos pueden bloquear el conducto auditivo externo de su
hijo, causando una pérdida de la audición o infección.
