<s>[INST] Hi Doctor, my 5 month old baby has a rash on the lower right side of her cheek and behind her right ear. She keeps pulling at her ear. Is it an allergic reacting to a solid food (she had some butternut squash for dinner) or is it an ear infection? Or is it something else entirely? [/INST] HI...I have just read through your query. The possibilities could be - 1. Eczema2. Food allergy3. Skin and soft tissue infection there...but unlikely as you have not mentioned about any fever.I Suggest you get the consultation of your pediatrician regarding this as - Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly.Regards - Dr. Sumanth </s>
