It’s the middle of the night. KoKo is crying.

“MaMa, MaMa,” says KoKo, “it hurts!”

“Oh dear, where does it hurt, KoKo?” asks MaMa.

“It hurts inside my ears,” says KoKo.

“Oh, KoKo, it sounds like another ear infection. We’ll go see Dr. Polar in the morning. She can help make you feel better,” says MaMa.

• Ear infections are often more troublesome at night because your child is horizontal and fluid behind the eardrum creates pressure and pain. Small children with ear infections often pull on their ears or cry when they cough.

• For nighttime relief, try a nonaspirin pain reliever or a hot moist towel against the hurting ear.
