Brittany glasser talks to a pediatrician about a painful illness connected to the common cold thats keeping kids sick longer. Viral infections are as common as the changing weather. Pediatrician albert richard, junior said hes treated lots of Young Children and said most colds resolve on their own but sometimes you can develop an ear infection as a complication. When you have a cold you get some swelling of the tissues of your sinuses and that swelling can basically block up the drain, block up the middle ear space and fluid can accumulate. That causing some pressure and some bulging of the eardrum that can lead to pain. Doctor richard said if its ear infection. Understanding what a cold is is a little low grade fever in the first day or so and after that runny nose and congestion for a week. When it doesnt follow that progression, when theyve been sick or two or three days and running fever, a lot more fussy, that can be a sign of something has changed. Tylenol and motrin can help ease the effort. Antibiotics are given after a professional makes a diagnosis. If its more worrisome tubes are considered for a longterm solution. The number of ear infections isnt as important as the duration of the fluid. Your eardrum cant move and it muffles the sound. Kids who have fluid in their middle ear space dont hear clearly so they dont learn to speak. Thats why its important to look for a fever above 102 degrees, increased irritability and crying while laying down. Coming up Bryan Bennett has the full forecast.
