Toddlers will cover their mouths and turn their heads to avoid eating vegetables. Babies will cry, kick and scream if you try to give them a bath. But many kids aren't able to tell you if they are in pain, said Dr. Leu Medina, a pediatrician with ABC Pediatrics.
Children feel pain related to teething, ear infections and colds.
And because some children are too young to talk, you may not know they are in pain unless you watch their behavior. The mother usually is the first one who is going to notice and describe the symptoms. Looking Parents should look for actions that may signal a painful problem. For example, if a child is crying and has a fever, pay attention to whether the baby touches or rubs his or her ears. This action may signal that the baby has an ear infection.
