Outer Ear Ear Canal Ear Drum Signs of a Middle Ear Infection Waking up at night crying Rubbing or pulling of the ear Trouble hearing Not wanting to breastfeed, suck a bottle or eat because it hurts Fever Older children may complain of: Pain in the ear or jaw Ringing in the ear 1

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 líquido que secreta el oído de su hijo. Esto puede suceder cuando su hijo se resfría, tiene alergia o gripe.

Feeling of motion or fullness in the ear Trouble hearing Fever Your Child 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. Here are some ways to prevent an ear infection. Hold your baby upright when feeding. Never prop up the bottle. Keep your children away from people who are smoking. Teach your children to wash their hands often and not to touch their eyes or runny nose. 2

sensación de movimiento o plenitud en los oídos; problemas para escuchar; fiebre. El cuidado de su hijo Las infecciones de los oídos algunas veces desaparecen solas, pero es mejor consultar al médico de su hijo si los signos duran más de dos días. El médico examinará los oídos de su hijo y le preguntará por los signos. Puede recetarle antibióticos. Asegúrese de darle todo el medicamento, aunque su hijo se sienta bien. No coloque nada en los oídos de su hijo, incluidos líquidos, hierbas o aplicadores con la punta recubierta de algodón, a menos que se lo indique el medico de su hijo. Estos pueden bloquear el conducto auditivo, causando una pérdida de la audición o infección. A continuación, encontrará algunas formas de evitar la infección de los oídos. Sostenga a su hijo en posición vertical cuando se alimenta. Nunca eleve el biberón. Mantenga a sus hijos alejados de las personas que fuman. Enséñeles a sus hijos a lavarse las manos con frecuencia y a no tocar sus ojos o su escurrimiento nasal. Middle Ear Infection in Children. Spanish. 2
