A member asked:
Baby was pulling her ears for a month but last night she was crying and pulling her ear...what could it be? is it teething or ear infection
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ears: You can not tell without checking the ear out. You can have low grade fever with teething and infection. Higher fevers would usually be an infection. If the child does not stop crying would have the pediatrician evaluate for infection.
