Follow this am: People often tell me that their child's ear is red, then we end up diagnosing ear infection later in the day/week. However, i think it's also common that kids ears are red b/c they sleep on them or maybe b/c kid has a fever. If redness persists, especially w/pain or fever, good idea to have it checked.
