Our poor baby Tia. She is having a hard time with these darn ear infections. She had two a couple months back and the amoxicilin cleared her up, but they are back. We took her to the doc and the left ear is sooo severe and the right is minor. Another batch of amoxicilin for her. They weighed her and she is at 14.6 lbs. The past week she has been coughing like an old man and boy is her nose runny. No temperature but she sounds congested again. Her diaper is a bit slimier and she is a bit crankier. The sure thing I noticed was that she'd cough while sleeping and her pacifier would shoot out and then she'd whine because she wanted it again. Let's just say that for a few nights - I didn't sleep much. My poor baby and I hope she gets better. However, I have a feeling this is going to be a pattern for her with possibly tubes put in later. I guess we'll see.
parker had a tough battle with ear infections and his dr. kept giving him amox. so after about 4th ear infection i asked for something stronger b/c he might just be "one of those kids" in which simple antibiotics might not work as well for. so, if you find yourself fighting ear infections i asked my doctor to prescribe something stronger. she put him on augmentin once (for a milder ear infection)and then omnicef paired up with floxin ear drops (for a ruptured ear drum). we havent had one in months (knock on wood). i'm no expert, but i'm sure you just feel terrible she is dealing with it.
