Ear pain and infection easily affect kids. They suffer a lot from severe pain also. Pus in the ear is one of the major symptoms. If you take care of these simple points, you can keep this condition at bay to a great extent.
Ear Pain and Infection in Kids
1. When you breastfeed or feed using a feeding bottle, your kid’s head position should be slightly elevated upwards. Otherwise, milk may reach the Eustachian tube, which connects the ear with the nose and throat, leading to an ear infection.
2. While bathing your child, take extra care. Water should never enter his ears. Applying oil inside the ears can also lead to an ear infection and pus. Properly clean the oil that was applied to his earlobes.
3. If your child is prone to allergies, chances are more for pus and ear infection.
4. While you are travelling, never allow your small kids to sit near the window side. If not, cover their ears with a towel or cap to avoid direct contact with dust, smoke, moisture and wind.
End note: For ear pain, garlic oil is a good solution. Crush 10 gm of garlic and crush it. Boil in 5 millilitres of coconut oil and once cooled, apply two drops on the affected ears. Read 100+ such Ayurvedic remedies that can be done at home.
