Ear Pain in Infants and Children

Your baby is not crying unexpectedly, is eating and drinking okay and does not have a runny or stuffy nose. He does not seem to have any symptoms that would suggest an ear infection.

Call your doctor if your child's symptoms last longer than a day or two, or if they get worse.
