Answer
Based on the description, this condition may be a symptom of otitis media, which is common in infants and may be related to colds and improper breastfeeding methods. Improper breastfeeding can lead to milk being aspirated into the middle ear cavity, causing inflammation. Additionally, due to the shorter eustachian tubes in infants, colds can also easily trigger otitis media. Treatment mainly includes the use of anti-infective drugs, especially cephalosporin antibiotics, which are effective. Intravenous anti-inflammatory therapy is also recommended.
