Any advice much appreciated?
DS2 is nearly 6 months but was 2 months premature (not sure if relevant but thought Id mention it). He's not been right all week and has had a bit of a cold,runny nose,cough etc most probably kindly donated from DS1 who has also had a bit of a cold.
He's normally a happy chilled out little boy but yesterday it was like he had a complete personality change...he literally spent all day from 6am screaming-and I mean really really screaming. I ended up at out of hours doctor last night who checked him over and said his right ear looked red and thought it was an ear infection and gave him AB's. We started them last night and bless him he slept most of the night but has woken up again this morning in what looks like a lot of pain and has once again been crying all day. Have given calpol/nurofen but it doesn't seem to be having much affect.
I know the AB's need to get in his system but he actually seems worse today. He isn't hot but checked his temp and it was fine. He just looks so sad bless him and is just screaming uncontrollably.
DS1 really suffered with ear infections and had to have tonsils/adenoids out at 2.5 as he had really bad glue ear but he didn't suffer this young and he was just really grumpy with it whereas this is hysterical high pitched screaming.
