my ds has been unsettled all night just got him up now to do his temp as he is crying. in one ear his temp is 36 in the other its 39 i have given him calpol because his body is quite hot. does this mean he probably has an ear infection with heat being localised? would appreciate any advice thankyou

Ear infection at a guess

Nurofen is much better with ear infections.
