She is very crancky, has a runny nose and hasn't been sleeping through the nite,
I am exhausted, there is no fever, just started walking and has two bottom teeth out

Anytime mine go 2 nights without sleeping, I am at the doc the next day. Once, my DD had a double ear infection- no fever, no irritability, nothing but in both ears! Flush cheeks I would think mean a little fever but you said no so I am not sure. Another bad day/night and I would take her in.

Does she have a fever? Maybe roseola? I hope she feels better. I would call the dr and see what they say.

My yds was/is allergic to tomatoes and always got the red/warm cheeks. However, doubt you are feeding your 10 month old tomatoes. Also... eczema. 3 of my 4 suffer from it, and will occasionally manifest it w/ the red cheeks.

Mine got red cheeks sometimes from teething, also from getting chapped in wintertime. My older boys never did this, but my baby just has nights when he doesn't sleep well, for what seems like no reason at all!!!

I'm glad she's feeling better!!

Her cheeks might be red because she is tired. DS cheeks get red whenever he is tired, not necessarily when he is sick. She is tired because of the lack of sleep and hence may be the red cheeks. I take mine to the doc whenever he doesnt sleep through the night for 3-4 days straight.
