Maybe ear infection: If your young baby is not acting well, it is best to see your doctor. It certainly could be an ear infection that could be causing his symptoms. Ear infections are common complications of colds. It also could be he may have a bit of congestion that may improve with saline and a humidifier while teething as well. For the most accurate diagnosis & treatment, it's best to consult your doctor first.
