Infants with earache.
Of 66 babies under the age of 3 months, who were examined during a 6-month period for excessive or unusual crying, and who showed no signs of fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, blocked nose, skin eruptions, and difficulties with breast- or bottle-feeding, 9 had pus or mucus in the middle ear. All who care for young children should be skilled in examining them for otitis media.
