What can I give my 9 month old son with an ear infection replacement?

Question

I think my 9 month old son has an ear infection and he pulls his right ear and rubs it. Last night he woke up several times. He doesn't have a fever but his temperature is 37.8 and comes back to 37.2-3 with Tylenol. I managed to get an appointment with the doctor only next Monday and I would like to be able to relieve my son as best as I can... I don't know if it could also be his teeth that are melting and that it radiates towards my ears?

Hello, teething may indeed cause your child to touch his ear more frequently. In the case of an ear infection, most are viral and heal without intervention. If your child seems to be in pain, you can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve it. Enjoy!
