Our cat was accidently left in the house during a flea fogging. It's been 2 days and he seems okay. But tired and has a small swollen bump in the center of each outer ear. Any suggestions?

How about bring him to the vet?

This is what is called an emergency.
You need to go to an emergency vet.
Emergency vets usually are affiliated with specialists who have dealt with pesticidal toxicities.
The affects of the poisen may not be apparent at this time.
The bumps on the ears may be hematomas
Bloodwork and urinaylsis must be done to check organ function.
Hopefully all will be well but you must get him looked at immediately.
I would bathe the cat right now to get off any residual chemicals.
As soon as that cat is dry enough for travel GO!

Calling a vet with this question would have been my first action, I certainly hope you've at least done that. The fogger is releasing pesticides - poisons - this exposure can take out a cat's liver (which is the organ used to process things out of the blood system), so organ failure may be a primary concern, they may want to do a blood panel on him to make sure he's ok.

A flea bomb will be less harmful to your baby than flea bites IMO.You just set the thing & leave the house for a couple of hours.Once the mist goes away it will be safe.Fleas can pass on certain diseases when they bite,especially if there are also rats or mice around.

Take the cat to the Vet ASAP because it is poison and the cat may have been affected by it.

Yes, take him to the vet. He needs a thorough once-over to make sure there wasn't kidney, nerve or lymph damage.

Have him checked by a vet. It is possible that he has been poisoned by the fogger. If it was me, I wouldn't take any chances.

How do you ACCIDENTALLY leave your cat in the house during a flea fogging???
Sounds like you were trying to kill your cat!
The fact that you didn't IMMEDIATELY take the cat to the vet is NEGLIGENT!!!
