What Are The Symptoms For Ear Infection?
Have a nine month old that was exposed to walking pneumonia for about an hour. He now has a green cruddy nose and hard to breath, some chest congestion, cough at night. No temp today, but slept very poorly last night, up 4 times. Could this be pneumonia? What are the symptoms for an ear infection? Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
To confirm the diagnosis of pneumonia,an x-ray chest is required.
It is not possible to diagnose without clinically examining the patient and looking at the x-ray chest.
Ear pain,temperature,some times discharge from the ears usually exaggerated by upper respiratory tract infection.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
