What Causes Excess Of Wax In Ear And High Body Temperature?
My baby woke up this morning with a lot of wax around her ear, she has been irritable for a few days, crying, sky high temperature and i put it down to her teething as she had really rosy cheeks. Could she have an ear infection and have burst her eardrum? What shall i do? My doctors said to get something from the chemist but my babies in a lot of pain.

Dear parent, I understand your concerns but it seems that your child has caught an ear infection. this requires ear drops as otrivin together with an antibiotic for 10 days. to relieve the fever and pain you can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup every 8 hours
