My 6 month old baby has fluid in his ear i used swimmers ear drops in his ear as i used it he was crying like he was in pain and rubbing it why?

Go to the Doctor: Fluid in a baby's ears means the ear drum may be ruptured. Putting drops in a ruptured ear is painful and not appropriate. Please stop. Please take your son to the doctor today.

Ear pain: It may be a middle ear infection which would not respond to your ear drops so get your dr to have a look.
