<s>[INST] How Do I Know if My Child Has an Ear Infection? [/INST] Older children will be able to tell you if they have ear pain. It may be more difficult to notice an ear infection in a younger child. Watch if your child constantly rubs or tugs at one ear. Babies with ear infections may cry more than usual, especially at night and while nursing or sucking a bottle. Your doctor can confirm a diagnosis by looking for fluid and redness inside the ear and for other symptoms. Source: health.fmolhs.org.
