A member asked:
Hi there. our baby girl of 7months probably has middle ear infection or something. she has fever of 38, cries when you touch the ear. what can we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have her seen: You can give her ibuprofen in the short term for her discomfort. In the long term someone needs to examine the ear drum for signs of a bacterial infection that needs treatment. In a brief study, only 5% of infants with this pattern had a middle ear infection, but many other issues were often found.
