Is Teething In Infants Related With Discharge From Ears, Swollen Gum And Runny Nose?

Hi my 14 month old has had a gooey discharge from his right ear for two days now he doesn't seam to be in pain but does get a bit restless at night. His gums are swollen and he has had a runny nose. just wondered if it was to do with teething or is it a ear infection.

Hello,

It is not related to teething. It is an ear infection. I recommend that you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
