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!
@xryztalroze, it’s not as red today, but it has a purple tint to it and it has spread pretty far out on her cheek.
I think you should maybe get a second opinion, especially if it’s spreading and she’s in so much pain. Or get her back into her pedi instead of ER
It looks like an allergic reaction. Did she get a bug bite or bee sting maybe?
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
@brittanystewart304 at least there isn't any problems so far inside her ear, but something else is an issue, smh
@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.
@brittanystewart304 let's see what the antibiotics do. How long does she have to take it for?
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
They told me that they aren’t really sure.
But it’s spreading up her head and now she won’t let me fix her hair. She screams and cries.
@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.
Oh, I just re read and saw about the motrin. Sorry. How long has she been on the antibiotic?
It looks like dermatitis. Ask the pediatrician for a referral to a dermatologist
