Can Ear Infection Cause Rash And Swelling In Child?
My daughter is 9 months old, and weighs 23 pounds. Healthy baby. I took her to the ER last night with a rash on her back, face, and hands, and swelling in her hands. The doctor told me that she has an ear infection that caused the rash and the hand swelling. I cannot find anything online about this, and would like some more infomation.
