Toddler Ear infection very restless at nights.. any advice?

[Dreamymama]

My son is 3 and was diagnosed with an ear infection on Thursday and was given antibiotics he finished them on Sunday, but he is still very irritated he then got a bad cough following the infection, he is very restless at nights aswell since, it’s the first time he’s got diagnosed with an ear infection any advice? When will he start feeling better?

Make an another appointment.

Have you tried calpol or nurofen for the pain?

i have but it doesn’t help for long, i will definitely try and get him an appointment for tomorrow

Poor thing. Sounds like he needs another course of antibiotics

Hope you get some more and they kick in, earache is awful? My 4YO had it in the summer and was miserable

Ask for the antibiotic ear spray, it's brilliant and really helps my dd when she has a ear infection.

Got an appointment booked for him for today, the gp left on the system anyway that he needs a follow up after a week so hopefully they can him something else to ease the pain.

Are you propping him up as much as possible? Ear infection pain is much, much worse when lying down than when sitting up, so he will be in a lot more pain if he is lying flat.

Too short a course of AB's and probably amoxycillin. Ask for Augmentin - that should knock it out. Also the cold starting may have rekindled it. Poor lad.

They gave him more antibiotics to have! Hopefully he will feel better away this
