How To Know If Your Toddler Has An Ear Infection

How do I know if my toddler has an ear infection?

The signs that your toddler has an infection in their middle ear would be that they have a fever, or they are cranky or agitated. The toddler with an ear infection would be pulling on the ear or trying to place objects in the ear, because they feel pain. If you see any fluid or pus coming from the ear, that's a sign that something's wrong. If you see swelling in the outer ear, that's a sign that the toddler has an ear infection, and they should be seen by the doctor right away.
