Tinley’s ear is just getting worse 😭.
They gave her amoxicillin, but that’s it.
Her pediatrician told me that if she got a fever to bring her in or take her to the ER.
She had a fever of 101 last night and they literally just gave her Motrin and sent her home. 🙄.
I hate seeing her in so much pain, and not sleeping.
I've never seen anything like this before! Not right for an ear infection to affect the outside of the ear like this or to crawl up the scalp!!! Have you spoken to her ped???
@brittanystewart304 This looks like an unusual situation to me. I'm curious to know what is really going on. Hope she gets the comfort she needs. Ice it and give her a Benedryl to see if that helps her. If nothing more it will help her rest better, maybe even sleep. Ibuprofen and/or Tylenol for pain alternate schedule to keep the pain down. Check the bootleg for proper dosing and time frames. I'm so sorry!
It looks like it's spread to the side of her face, it's hard to tell in the angle. None of the doctors checked the inside of her ear? I really do hope this passes quickly, or someone figures out what's going on
@wittyusername, yeah. The Er doctor said it was just an ear infection, but she has kept ear infections since she was about 1. Nothing like this has ever happened and hers would get so bad that there would be drainage. So I honestly don’t know what is going on.
What did they say was wrong with her ear? My son was on ear drops last month and amoxicillian and pain meds and heat compress for 4 days before he started feeling better
@brittanystewart304 I'm so sorry she is in so much pain. I would be calling and have her seen again. But try a warm compress it helped my son with the pain and it relaxed him enough he could rest.
