The EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor is a great tool to tell if an infection is present and it’s as easy to use as a thermometer. It can accurately tell you if there’s a buildup of middle ear fluid, a key sign of an infection, so you can seek medical attention.  A great tool for parents with kids who suffer from frequent ear infections.

Be advised this device should not be used on children under 6 months or on those who have ear tubes.  Retails for $49.95 at most Wal-Mart, CVS, Babies R Us locations or at www.earcheck.com. Always follow up with your doctor. The signs of an ear infection often include the following symptoms: fever, runny nose or cough, irritability, tugging on the ear and loss of appetite.
