If your baby is fussy, cries more than usual, and tugs at their ear, an ear infection may be brewing. Ear infections and babies go together like milk and cookies. They can be caused by fluid behind the eardrum, an infection in the middle part of the ear, or an infection in the ear canal (also known as swimmer's ear). Kids under 5 years old are at risk for ear infections, especially after upper respiratory infections. In fact, five out of six children will have an ear infection before their 3rd b...

No matter how careful you are, your little one will probably get diaper rash at some point. Most babies do. Diaper rash is a common skin condition in babies.

Signs and Symptoms Irritant rashes are most common and are caused by contact with urine (pee), feces (poop), and sweat. Signs of diaper rash...
Many kids get a cut from falls or using sharp objects like scissors. Some cuts can be safely treated at home. Large, gaping, and deeper cuts — or any wounds that won't stop bleeding — need medical treatment. What to Do If the cut is severe and you can't get your child to a hospital right away or must wait for an ambulance, begin this treatment: Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth. If blood soaks th...
Coughing is a healthy reflex that helps clear the airways. A severe or lingering cough requires medical treatment, but many coughs are caused by viruses that just need to run their course. What to Do If your child develops a "barky" or "croupy" cough, sit in a steamy bathroom together for about 20 minutes. Offer plenty offluids (breast milk or formula for babies; cool water and juice for older kids). Avoid carbonated or citrus drinks that may irritate a raw throat. ...

Kids can get eight colds a year — or more. The common cold sends more kids to the doctor than any other illness. Most colds are caused by a specific type of virus found in the air and on the things we touch. The prescription for the common cold is simple: time, rest, and hot beverages. Signs and Symptoms stuffy or runny nose (may start out watery, then turn thick yellow or green) itchy or sore throat sneezing cough headache mild fever feeling tired loss of appeti...
When a child is choking, it means that an object — usually food or a toy — is stuck in the trachea (the airway), keeping air from flowing normally into or out of the lungs, so the child can't breathe properly. Most of the time, the food or object only partially blocks the trachea, is coughed up, and breathing returns to normal quickly. Kids who seem to be choking and coughing but still can breathe and talk usually recover without help. It can be uncomfortable and upsetting for them,...
Scald burns from hot water and other liquids are the most common burns in early childhood. This is mainly due to children's lack of awareness of danger. A burn is caused by dry heat and a scald is caused by something wet, such as hot water or steam. Because burns range from mild to life threatening, some can be treated at home, while others need emergency medical care. What to Do If your child is severely burned, call medical emergency right away. While you wait for help, beg...
Animal bites and scratches that break the skin can sometimes cause infection. Some bites need to be closed with stitches while others heal on their own. Rarely, animal bites (particularly from wild animals) can lead to rabies, a life-threatening disease. Bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes transmit most cases of rabies. What to Do Wash the bite area with soap and water; apply pressure with sterile gauze or a clean cloth if the bite is bleeding. If the bleeding has stopped, apply ant...
