Question
A 1-year-old boy has been experiencing discomfort in his ears recently, and sometimes he can’t hear properly, which is very uncomfortable. What are the symptoms of otitis media in infants?
Answer
There may be a recurrence of ear pain, an increase in hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, and the infant may also have a fever again, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. They may also frequently become restless and irritable, and in severe cases, they may experience seizures again. In daily life, in addition to focusing on the treatment effect, attention should be paid to daily diet. Healthy eating is very helpful for the recovery of the illness and even has an auxiliary therapeutic effect, so it is necessary to maintain a light diet and regular lifestyle.
