Yes: Middle ear (otitis media) infections are very common in young children. They include: acute otitis media (aom) is an inflammation caused by bacteria that travel to the middle ear from fluid trapped in the eustachian tube. Children with aom exhibit signs of an ear infection including pain, fever, and tugging at the ear. Otitis media with effusion refers to fluid that accumulate and cause symptoms.

ENT consult: The ear infections issue should be worked out with possible referral to ent. It is normal for pain from teeth coming thru or erupting, starting a few weeks or bit more, before tooth actually appears . The pain can be relieved with a frozen rag given to your child to chew on and possible a medication approved by your md to control fever.
