I am really hoping someone can help. Almost a month ago my dd who is now 13 months old had a bad cold and didn't sleep well for a week. At the end of the week she was still really unsettled at night so I took her to the doc who said one of her ears was bulging and he gave her antibiotics. She was much much better even just 24hrs later. On the last day of the course of antib's her temp shot up so I took her back to the doc. He said her ear was still very red and gave her another 5 days of the same antibiotics (amoxicillin) she was much better the next week but finished the antibiotics on the Tuesday and by Friday evening was awake again at night screaming and poking in her ear. So Saturday morning I took her to the walk in. The gp there said her ear was red but would not give more antibiotics. I was told to give her paracetamol and ibuprofen alternately for a few days. By Wednesday evening she just wasn't sleeping very well but as I'd been told to just wait it out I gave it until Friday morning then took her to the walk in. I was told both ears are infected. So she is on amoxicillin again. However Fri evening she slept a lot better but last night slept terribly again, I really don't know what is going on as I've never had to deal with ear infections, both my ds have been ok that way.
I'm hoping someone can tell me of this is normal or if it sounds like she needs referring, I can't stand to see my poor dd suffering, and I'm so very tired also!
