Suggest Remedy For Persistent Fever
Hi, my daughter is 6 months old. She is having cold from past 8 days and she has been too cranky. Recently doctor told us that she is having wax in ear which can be the cause of her crankiness. But now her left cheek is also swollen, can it also be due to ear infection. She is having fever too but no issue with feed and breathing.

Hi...6 month old with fever of 8 days needs to be evaluated. It cant be just an ear wax. But as you said there is no issue with feeding or breathing, there is nothing serious. It could still be viral illness. But with 8 days of fever in a 6 month old, I would definitely do a basic blood workup and confirm.
