When children are relatively young, they will not express it even if they are unwell. Therefore, parents need to pay special attention, even if they take them to the hospital for examination when they find that their children may have health problems.
The baby touches his head frequently, and the mother takes her to the hospital for examination if she feels something is wrong
My colleague Xiao Jie was promoted to Bao Ma last year. Since it is the first time to take care of a child, Xiao Jie is very attentive to the process of taking care of the baby. Previously, when Xiao Jie was taking care of the baby, she found that the baby suddenly had a habit, that is, frequently touching the head with her hands. At first, Xiao Jie thought that the baby might just be an accidental unconscious action, and it would be naturally fine in a few days.
However, after four or five days in a row, the baby's head touching action has not changed. Because she felt that something was not quite right, so for the sake of peace of mind, Xiao Jie still took the baby to the hospital for examination.
After the examination, the doctor told Xiaojie that the baby was suffering from otitis media. The baby's frequent touching of the head is caused by this problem. Because the baby cannot express itself, it is impossible to express it to the parents through language, and can only alleviate the discomfort through its own actions.
In addition, the doctor also praised Xiao Jie's approach. The doctor felt that Xiao Jie brought the baby to a relatively timely timely. At present, the child is only mild otitis media, and there will be no sequelae after treatment. If it comes too late, it may increase the difficulty of treatment.

Otitis media is a disease that is more common in children. Because children's Eustachian tubes are shorter, straighter, and more horizontal than adults, they are more likely to cause some germs to enter the ear from the nasopharynx through the Eustachian tubes.
So, when children have otitis media, what are the general symptoms?
1. Touch with your hand
When there is a certain discomfort, children tend to have the habit of touching with their hands. They tend to touch the ear and its surroundings with their hands. Therefore, parents should pay more attention when they find that children continue to have this movement of touching the ear with their hands.
2. Hearing is affected
Otitis media can also affect your baby's hearing to varying degrees. When parents find that their baby's hearing has deteriorated, they should be wary of whether they have otitis media.
3. Headache, fever
Headaches and fever can also be symptoms caused by otitis media. Therefore, if the baby has a continuous fever and does not get better, the child should be taken to check whether there is inflammation in the ear.
4. Pus flowing out
When otitis media is severe, pus may occur. When pus comes out of your baby's ear, parents need to go to the hospital immediately for treatment.
These are the symptoms that may occur when children develop otitis media. In fact, in addition to otitis media, there are also some diseases that are often found in children.
1. Diseases of the respiratory system
Respiratory diseases are more likely to occur in children, such as tonsil inflammation, tracheitis, pneumonia and so on. In order to prevent children from appearing in these diseases, parents should pay attention to ensuring the warmth of children's clothing, avoiding too cold or overheating leading to colds and some respiratory diseases. When parents themselves have corresponding symptoms of discomfort, they should also reduce contact with their children and avoid transmitting germs to them.
2. Diseases of the digestive system
Diseases of the digestive system are also prone to occur in children. For example, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, etc. In order to prevent children from developing diseases of the digestive tract, parents need to pay more attention to the diet of children. For example, parents should pay attention to the cleanliness of food and eating utensils to prevent children from having digestive tract infections. In addition, you should also avoid giving your child some indigestible foods, ensure that your child eats an appropriate amount, and avoid problems such as accumulated food and indigestion.
The above are some of the diseases that often occur in children. When parents find that their children have some symptoms of discomfort, it is best to take their children to the hospital for examination to avoid the aggravation of the disease due to delay. I believe that under the more careful care of parents, children will grow up healthier and smoother.
Do you think there are any other diseases that are also easy to appear in children? Comments are welcome.
