We went back to the dr on Monday, 3/12 for a recheck and Madelyn's ears were clear, which was great news. It only took one round of medicine this time to clear her ears. Our dr was hoping that since the duration of this ear infection was so short and with the spring weather we could be in the clear with the ear infections.
Unfortunately a week later I knew she was having ear problems again - was hoping it wasn't an infection again but I knew something was going on. On Monday, 3/19 she fell 2x at daycare......she fell and bumped her head on the mirror and had a big goose egg and in the afternoon she fell and cut her lip. They said she was off balance and unstable. On Tuesday she was crawling more, instead of walking. Then Tuesday night she woke up screaming 2x. Lately she has been an awesome sleeper so I know when she gets up in the middle of the night mostly likely her ears are hurting. On Wed, she didn't eat much (totally unlike her) and they said she only wanted to be held.
We took her to the dr on Wed afternoon and yep, another double ear infection. We got a referral and are going to an ENT this Tuesday, 3/27. She is on meds again - the meds works very fast as she was back to herself by Thursday/Friday. We just feel so bad for her as you can tell she is in so much pain when her ears hurt. We are curious to get another opinion on Tuesday. It's not that I am pushing for tubes but I just want some type of relief so our baby doesn't have to be on antibiotics or in pain the majority of the time.
