DD is down with ANOTHER ear infection but the doctor gave me a good tip which I thought I'd pass on.
The reason the pain is so much worse at night is that they don't swallow as much which allows more pressure to build up in the ear. If they wake up in pain, sit them up and give them sips of water to swallow which should ease it a bit.
