Hearing tests first problems
Older children can tell you when they have earache, but how can you tell with a baby? The Department of Health offers the following points to watch for parents:
If you’ve tried: ® A hug ® Clean nappies
& Some food and baby is © Still crying or grizzly • Still keeps touching his or her ear again and again or • Gets a runny ear ... If your child is not his or her usual self and has any of these things wrong, it might be earache. Some
children may have a cold as well as earache. Do not wait for the cold to clear up, the department advises. Telephone a doctor or nurse, and go and see them right away. Ear infections can cause loss of hearing, even deafness. If you delay, your child’s ears may be damaged.
