11mo ear infection antibiotics not working

[Wobblyheart]

Help. I am besides myself with worry. My 11mo was feeling poorly a week ago, took him to GP and it was clear he had ear a d throat infection. Gave him antibiotics, and he was doing and feeling great. Now two days after stopping antibiotics he is pulling at his ears and the fever is back.

I will be back at GPs in thr morning buy please tell me if you ever experienced anything like this? I am feeling sick with worry he had got done sort of resistant bug...

I know it's hard not to worry but he won't have some resistant bug. My son is prone to ear infections and sometimes needs a second course of antibiotics to shift it. Or it could be a new bug altogether, they are at a age where they can catch one thing after another.

My eldest suffered with back to back ear infections. He had around 14 in a year!! It was relentless. We found the antibiotics just didn't help they would suppress it but not clear it.

In the needed we had ear drop antibiotics and he's had two rounds of surgery on his ears and that seems to have done the trick.

You may need a longer course of antibiotics to really clear it

Oh I didn't realise how common and nasty they are. Poor little things.

Thank you all. We are just waiting for a gp to call back now.
