Patient's question:
At 8 a.m. today, while the baby was taking a nap, sudden bursts of firecracker sounds suddenly came from downstairs. After a few seconds, the baby was startled awake. I quickly covered her ears. Throughout the entire fireworks display, the baby didn't cry—she seemed stunned. After the firecrackers stopped, she fell back asleep. I'm wondering if the loud firecracker sounds could have damaged her ears. How can I check for this at home?Doctor's answer:
Because the sound of firecrackers is far away from the baby, in such a case, there is no interference on the baby's eardrum, so don't worry. If you want to test it yourself, generally you just wait for the baby to wake up, gently call out to him, and see how he reacts. Suggestions: At the same time, this situation is mainly likely to cause the baby to be overly startled. If the baby again shows symptoms of being overly startled, such as poor sleep, under the guidance of a local doctor, you can take Qizhen Dan orally and combine it with pediatric massage therapy. Wishing you happiness.
