What Can Cause Redness In Cheeks,low Temperature And Tiredness?
my son has had a bad cold for about a week and a half, cough, runny nose, he went to the doc and they told me he had a ear infection in his left ear. he has been on antibiotics for4 days. last night he was throwing up and said he has a soar throat. today red checks and no temp actually a low temp96.3. has been laying on the couch all day. when he gets up he wants to lay right back down. He is 5 yrs old and usually a typical boy running all around. So confused what to do. any ideas?

dear parents your concern is right. he had simple cough and cold but now it seems to have secondary bacterial infection which is extending to ears. better take him to an ENT specialist at the earliest. in the mean time give him warm water to drink constantly. steam of plain water if he is ready to take and warm saline gargles if he can. this is symptomatic only. your ENT specialist will prefer to follow it. please do not delay
