My child's left ear is paining he is not giving us to touch and see he is just putting his finger in ear and crying pls suggest something.

Question

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Earaches in children are common. They can be caused by fluid behind the eardrum, an infection in the middle part of the ear, or an infection in the ear canal (also known as swimmer's ear). Kids under 5 years old are at a higher risk for ear infections, especially after upper respiratory infections (like a cold). Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
