Has anyone’s little one had an ear infection? I don’t know if my little one has one but I’m not 100% sure. The last few days he really hasn’t been himself crying a lot and arching his back. I thought it was his belly his has a bit of diarrhoea and it’s very mucusy. Then I thought it was his milk or something he had eaten, but he is pulling on his ear a lot and scratching it to the point his cut the inside and it’s been bleeding.
Any ideas I’m not sure what to do, if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated

My daughter had one last week, she had loads watery ear wax leaking out of her ear and whenever I touched her ear she would scream. Get him to the doctors to get check x
just worried because it’s bank holiday so don’t want to leave him too long x

They can pull on their ears when they're teething too! An ear infection usually has liquidy ear wax leaking out of their ears 😊

Best to go to the GP. Mine was doing the same with her ears and although it wasn’t a full blown infection her ears were completely blocked with wax. We haven’t had any wax leaking out but she was still in pain so got her some infant ibuprofen
yeah I thought he was teething his already got 2 teeth when it started i thought it was just teething then he started arching his bad and seems a lot more upset than he was when he was teething before

Usually ear infection comes with fever. But always worth getting checked out. My son had them a lot from 6 months on.
