Hi. This appears to be middle ear infection. The most common cause is improper feeding position, but it need not be the reason always. A simple cold can also cause ear infection in children. Continue to feed in the correct position, treat any cold/runny nose promptly to avoid ear infection in the future. Make sure that water doesn't enter the ears while bathing the baby. Warm regards, Dr Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
