Are ear infection Contagious to Children ?

It's quite natural for children to have ear infections more than the majority of adults. Their ear canals are still developing and still growing, like the majority of their body. Because they're still growing, it's easier for earwax to fit in there and become blocked which is not a good thing since this can lead to more serious issues as well. Earwax has a great purpose within our bodies as it protects our ears from dust, debris, and germs - it’s almost like a barrier of sorts. A natural self-cleaning mechanism that most people don't even think about but work pretty much 24/7 so we should be thankful for its existence!

Thankfully these are not often contagious, but sadly there is no way of making sure they never occur. Even though most ear infection gets resolved with the mild, oral medication itself, availing of them on time is quite important.

The ear infection will go away on its own, but you should consult your doctor if you believe your child has "above average" infection occurrences. To get rid of the wax before there is a danger of blockage and infection, they may perform a routine ear irrigation operation.

Additionally, the prompt treatment ensures that the youngster is kept free of bothersome ear infection symptoms like :

  1. Tugging or pulling at the ear (s)
  2. Difficulty sleeping
  3. Sobbing and fussiness
  4. Fever
  5. Drainage of fluid from the ear
  6. Loss of equilibrium
  7. Difficulty hearing or responding

Typically, children's immune systems are not as robust as those of adults. Therefore, administering timely treatment and medication is the only method to guarantee their quick recovery.
