Could it be an early infection?

Hello, i took my Ds to the doctors on Thursday with ear pain that had lasted 5 days, they checked his ear and said it was red inside but not bulging. Since then his pain is getting worse and lasting a lot longer. He hasn't had a temp with it but could it be turning into an infection? I was thinking of taking them to OOHs tomorrow if its still bad. Was told to keep an eye and if no better go back next week.

@Bepanthensavedmybumbum @reelcat thank you both for replying, he is asleep at the moment. Will take him tomorrow morning to get checked again.

I agree, ear infections can turn very serious and if it hasn't gone by now/is getting worse I would get it checked again

I would get him checked out again. Ear infections can turn nasty very quickly. Better to be on the safe side because it is so near the blood brain barrier too.
