❓How to detect a baby's earache?

In many cases, one of the main causes of baby crying is ear pain. In terms of pain intensity, ear pain is equivalent to toothache.
Pediatricians use the Tragus sign to determine if a baby has pain in the ear.

Tragus symptom - the baby's ear is gently pressed against the tragus of the supraspinatus, and if there is inflammation in the middle or outer ear, the symptom is positive. In this case, the baby may cry or cry more.
