DS 20mo has got very red & hot ears today. He pulls at them occasionally or tries to put his fingers in his ears. I noticed him doing the fingers in his ears thing the past day or two as well, but ears weren't red so I just thought it was him playing/imitating something he'd seen. He seemed to have a slightly raised temperature this morning and slept badly last night. He's a bit niggly today but doesn't seem to be in pain (he went down for his nap OK - didn't sleep as long as usual but I think that had more to do with the massive poo he'd done!).
I'm usually quite laid back when it comes to him being under the weather or having a slight temperature (i.e. just keep an eye on him and wait for it to pass), but I haven't got experience with the red ears thing. Could it be an infection? Should I take him to the GP with this? (Wouldn't be able to get an appointment until tomorrow at the earliest)
