I'm beginning to worry about my 5.5 month old dd. She is a happy baby and sleeps OK, etc. However she does have rather smelly ears! It's a kind of cheesy smell, similar (and ready - this is a bit gross) to that which my toe had once when infected!! (Sorry....)
I've taken her to 2 GPs who just say it's wax and nothing to worry about and shoo me out of the surgery.
I've read about hearing loss etc. from untreated infections - am I right to be concerned?
Should I get a 3rd opinion? All they seem to do is shove a light briefly in there and say she's fine.Hmmm.........advice??
