A member asked:

My daughter is seven and she has a temperature and headache and her ears hurt when she swallows?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See a doctor: She may have ear infection, or simple has referred pain to her ears from an inflammatory process in her throat. It sounds like a viral infection, but the headache, if severe, may signify something more serious. See a family doctor or pediatrician. Hope she is better soon.
