A. Ears
It is normal for your baby to produce ear wax. It is not normal for your baby’s ears to produce anything else. If you notice a pus discharge, treatment is urgent, so consult your doctor immediately. Ear infections are quite common. They develop in the middle ear that is situated behind the ear drums.
Ear Infection (otitis media)
Ear infections can occur after a head cold. If your baby has an ear infection you will need to take her to the doctor. Your doctor will usually prescribe oral antibiotics and paracetamol for pain and fever.
Ear Cleansing
Gently remove visible dirt and wax around the outer surface of your baby’s ear. To avoid probing deeply into her ear canal. use cotton buds with a safety rim.
B. Nose
A newborn baby’s nose looks flat. Breathing is often irregular – either slow and deep or fast and shallow. Babies sneeze and cough to clear mucus. The nose, chin and neck may have tiny white spots called milia. These are quite normal and will disappear within two weeks of birth.
Nose Cleansing
Gently remove visible mucus and dirt around your baby’s nasal flares with cotton buds or the corner of washcloth. To avoid probing deeply into his nose, use cotton buds with a safety rim.
