Ear infection
My 5 month old baby has a ear infection because of which there is fluid and pus coming out of the ear and now there are even boils around the ear lobe. She previously had fever a month back and she still has chest cold and cough. Does this hamper my baby s eardrum does this mean the ear drum is perforated and will it have a long term effect.
