Could Vomiting And Fever Be Due To Ear Infection In A Toddler?
I have a five-year-old daughter who woke up this morning with an earache and vomited twice this morning. She only complained of an earache one time today but now has a fever. Can the vomiting and fever be caused by an ear infection although her ears don't seem to be hurting much?

Hi... vomiting and fever could as well be the presenting symptoms of an acute ear infection which could be very painful. Usually this might require antibiotic therapy after checking the ears with an otoscope. I suggest you take her to the nearest Emergency Room or her pediatrician as soon as possible.
