A member asked:
My 6 month old has dark brown ear wax in her right ear. we were just at the dr for her check up, no problems. could it be an infection w/o a fever?

Not necessarily: Ear wax or cerumen has many colors. Sometimes it is yellow o white but frequently it is dark brown. If there are no other symptoms suggestive of infection, it is unlikely to be an infection.
