How to Easily Use an Otoscope at Home: A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents | Blueberry Pediatrics
Learn how to confidently use an otoscope at home with this simple tutorial from Blueberry Pediatrics! In this video, we walk you through tips and techniques for checking your child's ears with ease-whether they're feeling unwell or not. Discover how to test the otoscope on yourself, position your child for the best results, and capture a clear view of the eardrum.
1. Test the otoscope first - Try it on yourself to get comfortable with angling and positioning.
2. Practice before your child is sick - It’s easier when their ears aren’t hurting.
3. Position your child for success - Sit them on your lap with their back to you, and use screen time for distraction.
4. Hold the otoscope like a pencil - Gently insert it into their ear canal, adjusting the angle as needed.
5. Pull the earlobe out, back, and down - This helps get a clear view of the eardrum.
With patience and practice, you’ll avoid unnecessary trips to urgent care and feel empowered to monitor your child’s ear health from the comfort of home. Perfect for parents looking for a stress-free solution!
