6 Month Old with Ear Infection

DS has a fever and an ear infection. I am so sad for him. He is on antibiotics...did this happen to anyone else?

Re: 6 Month Old with Ear Infection

yes, my dd just had her first ear infection at 7 months. She had a cold for about 2 weeks and then got an ear infection. She was on amoxcillin for 10 days but was acting better after 3

hope he feels better soon

Re: 6 Month Old with Ear Infection

DS is 15 months old and has already about 4 or 5 ear infections and his first one was when he was about 5 or 6 months old.

Re: 6 Month Old with Ear Infection

We are going through this now, my DS is almost 7 months old. He has had a cold since Saturday, took him to the doctor on Wed b/c he had started running a fever.... Poor guy, BOTH ears were getting infected. Has your DC had trouble sleeping at night or going to sleep at all? This has been our biggest obstacle. That and the snotty nose since Saturday. DS freaks out when he sees a kleenex.....

Curious to see how many people have experience the sleep trouble with the ear infection(s).

Re: 6 Month Old with Ear Infection

He is not sleeping the same at all!!
The dr said to alternate tylenol and motrin all day today
