My 10 month old baby touches his ear?

Question

Hello, My 10 month old boy started to touch his ear and put his finger (yesterday) as if it was stinging. He doesn't have a fever, is eating well, but he seems more tired. Should I go see a doctor or can I monitor the symptoms? Is there a treatment at the pharmacy?

Hello, thank you for your question! if there are no other symptoms, I would advise you to simply monitor his general condition. If he seems to be in pain, don't hesitate to give him acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra and other companies). If the situation persists for more than 5 days or worsens, you should consult a doctor, as a precaution. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
