Fever
Swelling, pain, fever, redness or pus in and around the pit, signaling an infection, such as cellulitis or an abscess. A slow-growing painless lump right next to the opening, signaling a cyst. A cyst also raises the risk of infection. [chop.edu]
Other symptoms include malaise, weight loss, fever, and anorexia. It is important to recognize temporal arteritis because it can cause permanent blindness, but this is usually preventable with prompt initiation of systemic corticosteroids. [aafp.org]

Surgical Procedure
Above this age babies start to get stronger and wriggle too much for a surgical procedure. In these cases a general anaesthetic is advised and for safety reasons it is best to wait until the child is over the age of one. [chrisabela.co.uk]
