2-year-old ear pain?

The most common cause of ear pain in a 2-year-old is fluid buildup and inflammation in the middle ear following an upper respiratory infection (acute otitis media). Signs include fussiness, pulling or tugging at the ear, fever, poor appetite, and sleep difficulty. If fever is above 39 degrees, your child seems sleepy or unwell, or pain lasts longer than 2–3 days, see your pediatrician. At home you can try: an appropriate dose of fever reducer (acetaminophen or ibuprofen with doctor approval), positioning with the head slightly elevated while lying, and a warm cloth on the outside of the ear. Never put oil, drops (except by prescription), cotton, or ear sticks inside the ear.
