DD was off colour last week, crying a bit at nursery and grinding her teeth (she has SN and can't speak, is 4) Took her to GP on Friday, who said she had a sore ear.

Gp gave us a prescription for amoxycillin but said not to use it unless she got worse/feverish.

She seemed better over the weekend and at start of week.

Today however she was crying on way to nursery, was asleep there when i collected her, looked ill and was grinding teeth again.

Gave her some Nurofen and she is now running around, happy and ate a huge dinner.

Just don't know whether I should just keep up the Nurofen or give her the amoxycillin since it has been well over a week now and she did seem in a lot of pain earlier.

WWYD? Smile

Well, she woke in night and then got up at 530 running around, is rather grumpy but I think that's just tiredness rather than ear...
