What Causes Red Ears, Tiredness And Fever In Child?
Hi my four year old boy, is on antibiotics for 4 days for a chest infection and one of his ears is very red Today he came home complaining he was very tired and I've checked his temperature and it's around 38.8 and he's gone straight to sleep. I've stripped him down and he is'nt hot to touch except for his back but the rest of him feels fine and his feet feel cold can you tell me what I should be doing, as I'm very worried.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having acute ear infection followed by chest infection.
As antibiotic medicine is going in, nothing to worry, gradually it will be alright.
Meanwhile give him ibuprofen for pain and fever.
Ok and take care.
