Madelyn has been battling a double ear infection since the 1st week of December. She is on her 3rd antibiotic. We are hoping this one does the trick! We feel so bad for her. This past week has been the worst. The latest antibiotic is just ripping up her stomach. She has dirty diapers all the time, has been throwing up after we give her the antibiotic, only eats a few bites of fruit at every meal, doesn't nap/sleep during the day and just hasn't been herself. There were times when she screamed when we held her, rocked her, put her down. She was just miserable.
We have been to the doctor 5 times since the beginning of December. 4 of the 5 have been for her ear infection checks & rechecks. The other appointment was because she spiked a fever of 103.5. This was the day before we left to celebrate Christmas with our families. Thankfully she recovered quickly from that.
We have her 9 month appointment this coming Friday so we are going to talk to our doctor about our options. I know she's too young for tubes but we can't keep going through 2-3 antibiotics every time she has an ear infection.
