Hi and help
On Monday thought DD had been shoving marmite in her ear and actually it was disgusting goo which was then diagnosed as a perforated ear drum by doc, we are due to go on holiday (first sunny hol since before DD was born am so desperate for sun) to Dubai on Sunday. Doc is doing check on DD on Sat morning.
Anyone else with experience of whether it will be dafe to fly or whether we should just get it over and done with and cancel holiday?
Thanks in advance

She can fly as her drum is perferated now, the worst bit.

She will just need lots of painkillers. give ibuprofen - if not asthmatic.

How old is she btw?

she's 16 months
she doesn't seem to be in any pain now and is very perky - when would she need the painkillers for?
thanks in advance
