Ear Infections – Babies 0-1 Year
The complete parenting guide to symptoms, treatment and prevention
Ear Infections - Babies 0-1 Year
Baby (0-1 Years)
Your baby just got over a cold a few days ago. Now, just when you thought you were finally in the clear, she's started tugging on her ears - a lot. She hasn't been eating well. She hasn't been sleeping well. She's been way more cranky than usual. And she's starting to run a mild fever. What could it be?
While it's hard to say for certain, she might very well have an ear infection, the most commonly diagnosed illness apart from the common cold in U.S. children. An estimated three out of four children get at least one ear infection by the time they're 3 and babies 6 months to 18 months are the most susceptible. And though ear infections (acute otitis media) may not be terribly serious, they're also not much fun.

Pink Eye | Pink Eye Treatment | Pink Eye Causes
Baby (0-1 Years)
Your baby's eye is puffy, reddish-pink and oozing. Maybe the eyelid is even swollen and misshapen.
Try not to worry too much. Chances are what you're looking at is a classic case of conjunctivitis. Also known as "pinkeye," conjunctivitis is an infection of the clear membrane that covers the white part of your baby's eye and the inside of her eyelid. It might be accompanied by cold symptoms or not. Either way, it will probably clear up in about a week.
Sometimes a visit to the doctor and antibiotics are necessary, but rest assured: Pinkeye is one of the most common childhood ailments-especially for babies. It is so common that most people will experience an episode, either in childhood or as an adult. While it's an annoyance and might interfere with your schedule, it's usually not a serious health hazard.

My doctor says I had viral pink eye caused by my sinus infection. I needed an antibiotic for the sinus infection. It was crusty (sorry for tmi). It’s not always clear to me when an antibiotic is needed.

Pink eye due to allergies can be cleared up by chopping some onions, once those tears start rolling the eye opens right up
-
If your baby is nursing you can use your breastmilk as an “antibiotic”. During each feeding just spray a few drops of breastmilk into each eye. The antibodies in the breastmilk will do the job.

Wear ear plugs when swimming
Protect your baby’s ears when they’re in the bath — if too much water gets in, it can get trapped and cause ear infections (at least in my experience)
Breastfeed! Not just because of the antibodies in breastmilk that the article mentions, but because the act of bottlefeeding puts babies at risk for ear infections. This is especially true if a baby falls asleep sucking on a bottle (babies who fall asleep sucking on the breast are not at risk, since the mechanics of breastfeeding are different than what takes place during bottlefeeding — bottlefeeding allows for fluid to pool at the back of the mouth, which is a danger for ear infections).
Over-the-counter pain medicine like Tylenol can relieve pain and fever until you visit a doctor.
You can also speed things up by using sweet oil, which you can buy from any drugstore. Place a drop in your ear and then place a cottonball in the ear that is infected. Lay on that side and you will feel a difference in a couple of days!
Best way to get better, no matter what you may have is getting lots of rest. Encourage your kid to have some quiet time to let his or her body fight the infection. Arrange for quiet play activities, which is always nice.
I’ve found that putting a warm compress on your child’s ear can help. If that doesn’t work, non-aspirin pain relievers like tylenol or ibuprofen usually does the trick, but if you’re uncertain, you can always of course check with your doctor.
A warm wash cloth against your baby’s ear can relieve some of the pain. Just make sure the cloth isn’t hot.
In my experience, sometimes ear infections are a complication of chicken pox and some children with it are susceptible to a specific ear infection. If this happens to your child, it might be best to bring them to the hospital, just to be safe.
