A member asked:

How can i tell if my 6 month old has an ear infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes hard: If your child has had congestion for over a week and now is more fussy, has a fever, is sleeping poorly, then it is more likely. A visit is necessary to best diagnose and confirm this infection.
