Baby with snotty ears?

Just wondering if this could be an ear infection which needs to be seen or just general bunged up/ cold.

DD2 is six months, been a bit unsettled at bedtime for the last three days, but nothing alarming, no temp, put it down to possible teething.

Today one ear is really snotty, the other is also a bit hunger up but more waxy (sorry for tmi!). She doesn't seem too bothered though.
Should I be concerned?

Suggest you call the out of hours GP. Sounds like there may be an ear infection with perforated ear drum. This happened with DD when small and I had no idea about her ear until I saw pus coming out.

Agreed. Sounds like a perforated ear drum. You may need for a swab to be taken and antibiotics. You need to see someone.

Thanks to you both for responding. I've taken her to the out of hours GP and got antibiotics now.
