What\’s the reason for the baby\’s ears watering? I didn\’t expect that the \”murderer\” that frightened the parents was actually it…

When many parents see discharge, pus, and scabs in their baby\’s ears, their first reaction is: Does the baby have otitis media? Is it caused by the milk flowing into the ears when I choke? Will this situation affect the baby\’s hearing? ! It’s not surprising to be so panicked, because this abnormal phenomenon is indeed similar to the symptoms of otitis media. The thing that makes your baby\’s ears look like this is none other than your common… Eczema Yes, eczema can appear on the head, face, around the mouth, neck, body and other parts of the body, but you never would have thought that eczema would actually appear on your baby. On the ears, we call this situation: external auditory canal eczema! Let’s get to know it well so as not to be fooled again! What are the symptoms of external auditory canal eczema? External auditory canal eczema is a common skin inflammation. When it appears in the external auditory canal, auricle, and behind the ear of infants and young children, a light yellow liquid will gradually ooze out, and after drying, it will turn into yellow and translucent scabs or scabs. The skin is similar to the shape of sugar that has been boiled and then solidified. Babies with external auditory canal eczema will scratch their ears frequently, which is related to the fact that external auditory canal eczema can cause itching. Therefore, parents must trim their baby\’s nails regularly to prevent scratching the skin and causing further infection. What should I do if my baby has eczema of the external auditory canal? Step 1: Let the doctor make a diagnosis. Because external auditory canal eczema is similar to otitis media and other ear diseases, it is recommended to ask a doctor to make a diagnosis and follow the doctor\’s instructions to use medicine. Do not apply eczema medicine indiscriminately or blindly use ear drops. Step 2: Clean your ears remember! You must first obtain the doctor\’s consent before using hydrogen peroxide to clean foreign objects in your baby\’s ears. Otherwise, do not use it on your baby without permission. After instilling the medicine, use a clean cotton swab to clean the medicine liquid and foreign matter in the ear. Step 3: Keep your baby\’s ears dry. Ear hygiene and dryness will help to help the condition recover quickly. Therefore, after routine treatment, be sure to prevent milk from flowing into the ears, swimming water or bath water from entering the ears. When your baby\’s ears are draining, under the premise of ensuring safety, you can turn the draining ear downward to allow the fluid to drain out and keep the ears as dry as possible. Will external auditory canal eczema affect hearing? We all know that if otitis media is not treated in time, it will affect the baby\’s hearing. But will eczema in the external auditory canal affect it? In fact, no, because external auditory canal eczema will not affect the baby\’s middle ear and inner ear. After all, it is on the skin of the ear, so generally speaking, external auditory canal eczema will not affect the baby\’s hearing. However, it can create an \”artifact\” because when the fluid solidifies and the secretions block the ear canal, it can skew the hearing screening results. Many new parents feel exhausted mentally and physically when caring for their babies, because every time their baby has a physical problem, they cannot think calmly and deal with it rationally, and they want to call the doctor to their home immediately to ask what is going on! Why is this happening? It’s because we don’t have enough knowledge about parenting, so how important it is to learn a new piece of knowledge every day~
