Here We Go Again...

It's been almost exactly two weeks to the day since elf_baby finished her antibiotics for her last ear infection. And this morning she woke me up crying and telling me her ear hurts. She's sleeping now on some acetaminophen. I'm going to call her doctor in a few minutes and see about taking her in. I want to get them to run an allergy panel on her to find out what is causing all of the sinus drainage. She's had sinus drainage for about a week and a rough sounding cough for the last four days or so. I don't know as I'm going to ask for more antibiotics because that seems really soon to be using them again. I'll have to see what the doctor recommends.

I was very prone to ear infections as a kid and I know that had something to do with taking my tonsils out. Hope she feels better soon!

Did you have tubes put in? I'm considering asking about it if she keeps having these ear infections. They are thinking that the infection never really cleared up, so they put her on a new one.

Nope, never had tubes. The worst that I can remember is that they gave me a shot in my thigh since my arm wasn't big enough for the amount of medicine (or anti-biotic?) they needed to give me. All I know is that my folks told me that the ear infections and tonsillitis (of course) went way down after tonsils out. Though I will admit that I still have a tendency towards some ear issues when congested. I always thought that having the tonsils out was the in thing to do at that time, but I asked my folks today and they said no. The doctors didn't want to take them out but my grandmother insisted :).
