Ear infection v. Teething?!

1 reply

Mumofamadam · 16/07/2023 22:08

hey all!!! So currently having a real hard time during the night with my 16mo. Poor thing is just constantly waking up crying soon after (or as soon as) I put her down for the past week or so… putting this down to teething (have tried calpol/nurofen/gels & not much difference).

what I’m noticing though is she’s always pulling/holding her ears which is unlike her.. went to the docs to get checked and he ensured this was a build up of wax & not an infection.. trying the olive oil drops as recommended but wondered if anyone else had sleep problems caused by wax?! Or whether this is just down to another bad teething period. Wondering how long this will go on for as I’d like a bit of sleep some time soon ☺️🙏🏻

Hiya if theres no tempature it could just be wax build up . My lo had this but did later on did turn into a ear infection as nothing would clear it , twice drs said it was teething but it wasnt Just keep an eye on it , if lo is still not okay in a day or so i was definitely return to drs and insist they check again. You know your lo best .
