My DS last night got very distressed as he was settling down to sleep. He was saying his ears felt hot, they were very red. He kept asking me to touch them but refused Calpol which he takes if he feels unwell. My DH called 111 who suggested an A and E about half an hour away or out of hours GP call back so we opted for the GP. In the meantime DS fell asleep and the redness went. This morning he seems fine again. He is six but has delayed language and is being assessed for ASD. Any idea what this could be? has anyone else had this?
