Helping families understand ear infections

When you know what’s happening in your child’s ear, you can help more.

This warm and practical animation follows a young Greenlandic family as they learn to manage their son Minik’s recurring middle ear infections. The video introduces medical facts, symptoms, and treatment options—making complex information feel accessible and reassuring.

Case study

Using animation to explain symptoms, treatment, and care for middle ear infections in children.

The problem

Pain, worry, and uncertainty

Chronic otitis media is common among children in Greenland. But for many families, it’s difficult to know when to act, what symptoms mean, and how to handle recurring infections. Without guidance, parents can feel anxious or overwhelmed when navigating ear-related illnesses.

The solution

Practical, family-centered storytelling

We created an animation that combines relatable storytelling with expert-backed advice. The video shows a caring family recognizing symptoms like fever and ear discharge, visiting the health center, and using home treatments like ear irrigation. By blending animation and empathy, it educates families about treatment options and hearing concerns in a clear and comforting way.

The result

Empowered families and early action

This animation is now being used in healthcare settings and community outreach across Greenland. It gives parents the knowledge to respond confidently when their child has ear pain—and encourages regular communication with health professionals. Its approachable tone supports both learning and trust-building in the healthcare system.
