Is Tugging At Ears A Signs Of Teething In Infants?
My 8 month old son has been tugging at both ears, is that a symptom of teething or is it a true ear infection? Or something else all together ? He really is not acting any different or like he is in pain. Thank you for your time and any info you can provide.
