It is very easy to make a home diagnosis when our son hurts his ear And yet it can be very dangerous. Because we do not know if we have succeeded or not and, because you can get to use some home "remedy" that what you do is aggravate that earache and even cause complications. Nor is medication that has not been prescribed by the doctor convenient.
Why in this World Health Organization video, entitled "Ear care can prevent hearing loss", we are reminded that we go to the doctor in the case of earache, that we do not give them medications or use homemade tricks before that otalgia, along with other tips for the auditory health of the little ones.
There are many myths and misconceptions about otological problems and deafness. In the world there are 360 million people with hearing loss, and about half of those cases can be easily prevented or treated.
We summarize the points of this Cartoon video on how to prevent hearing loss in children, a short story in which a little girl tells us about an earache she suffered and how home remedies and certain behaviors can damage the ear.
A child with an earache or hearing loss should only be given the medications that the specialist sends.
Do not put anything in the ear of children, not even cotton swabs, which can also damage the ear. Here we remind you how to clean your baby's ears well.
Do not listen to music with headphones at high volume, nor subject the fragile ears of children to an excess of loud sounds.
If the right medications are used and the ears are kept clean and dry (keep an eye on this now, in summer) everything will be fine.
In short, going to the doctor, reducing exposure to noise and avoiding the insertion of objects in the ears many otological and audiological problems can be prevented. Take care of your children's ears and do not resort to their own diagnoses that could aggravate those problems.
