Otitis Media
Introduction
When your baby is awake all night long - fussing, crying, and refusing all your efforts of comfort - you know something is wrong. Being alert to all the gestures and movements your child makes can give you important clues. If she repeatedly touches or tugs at her ear, she may have otitis media (ear infection), one of the most common infections in infants and young children. Your child will not have to suffer with the discomfort and pain of an ear infection for long. Treatment typically eases symptoms fairly quickly, and the infection sometimes even resolves with no treatment at all.
