Hello Mrs., would it be possible to know what his symptoms are now and what they were before? When was the previous ear infection?
Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, detecting an ear infection requires a diagnosis, which is a procedure reserved for doctors and specialized nurse practitioners. If your child has any unusual or troublesome symptoms that persist, you should seek medical attention.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful at this time, this is unfortunately beyond what can be addressed on this platform,
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist

Ok thanks, I was just wondering what the symptoms of an ear infection are :)

I'm sorry, I didn't understand your request!
Often the affected child will complain of ear pain, with or without fever. His or her general condition may be somewhat affected such as fatigue (secondary to lack of sleep or disturbed sleep), decreased appetite and less inclination to play.
Often, an ear infection can heal on its own. If the symptoms persist for more than a week or get worse, it is suggested that you consult a doctor.

Ok thanks, yes it's hard to know with an 8 month old baby. Thanks to you :)
