Frey's syndrome is characterized by sweating and flushing in the temporal and preauricular areas after a salivary stimulus. It is caused by damage to the auriculotemporal nerve, hence the alternative name of auriculotemporal syndrome. We report the case of a 2‐year‐old girl presenting with postprandial unilateral flushing that developed after a herpes zoster infection.
