The CDC lists ear pain, fever, fussiness, rubbing or tugging at the ear and trouble sleeping as common signs of an ear infection in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics adds that tugging alone is not a reliable sign, since many babies do it to soothe themselves, and that many ear infections clear up without antibiotics.
For pain or fever, the CDC says only acetaminophen is recommended under 6 months of age; children 6 months and older can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Follow the label and check the dose with a clinician.
Never give aspirin to a child or teen.
Over-the-counter cough and cold medicines are not recommended for children under 4 unless a clinician advises them.
Offer rest and extra fluids.
The AAP suggests having a child seen when a fever lasts more than 24 hours in a child under 2, or more than 3 days in an older child, or when a child still acts sick after the fever comes down. Our article is a 102°F fever an emergency for a child? walks through the numbers.
