Yup totally agree, Maya. My sister's wee girl avoided grommet surgery because both ears ruptured and solved the problem!

Keep up with the pamol for the other ear though, as it will still be sore...

That'll be coz the pressure has gone on that side, it looks nasty but it's the old saying - better out than in!

Hope the antibiotics clear it up soon, this is the last thing you need!]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:28:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=477489&title=ear-infection#477489 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice. I gave her some pamol and she slept better last night than she has for a while! Took her to the GP today and she said that the drum had ruptured and the other ear drum is under pressure. She gave us some antibiotics and wants to see her again in a week.

Chloe actually seems a lot happier since it happened, poor little thing!!]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:13:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=477407&title=ear-infection#477407 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Oh no, poor wee Chloe, no wonder...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=477042&title=ear-infection#477042 Author: Maya

Oh no, poor wee Chloe, no wonder she's been so miserable!
I'm going to disagree with everyone else tho and say give her some Pamol coz it will be mighty sore and then see the GP tomorrow. It's not going to do any more damage between now and then (in fact now that the drum has ruptured so the gunk can come out she might even be a bit more comfortable coz the pressure will have eased) and your GP will be able to prescribe drops and possibly oral antibiotics as well. I know the AH doc can do that but ears can be a chronic/ongoing condition so it's important to have it documented with the GP so that if she has another infection down the track you can look at referral to a specialist. They can also refer you to an ear nurse to have it suctioned/cleaned out if need be coz sometimes discharging ears do need to be suctioned.
Mercedes had her first burst ear drum at 5 mths and I took her to AH and they said that it's not common practise to prescribe antibiotics for ear infections, took her to the GP next day and she was horrified that that's the advice I'd been given!]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:52:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=477042&title=ear-infection#477042 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Sounds like a ruptured ear drum...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=476953&title=ear-infection#476953 Author: ShellandBella

Sounds like a ruptured ear drum if theres stuff coming out. Bella recently had an ear infection, and they leaked, but she's had grommets, so thats why. You will most definitely need to get her on some antibiotic ear drops at the least...]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:48:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=476953&title=ear-infection#476953 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Take her in just to be safe LB....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=476913&title=ear-infection#476913 Author: Freesia

Take her in just to be safe LB. It doesn't sound normal so it'd pay to have it checked out. Did you tell the dr what was wrong when you were asking for an appointment?]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:12:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=476913&title=ear-infection#476913 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Take her now please.

Take her now please.

Ears aren't something to mess with and they can cause big problems if left alone.

Chloe was at my sister's house all day... and my sister called halfway through the day to say that Chloe's ear was leaking on everything. I rang my Dr but they had no appointments until tomorrow.

Her ear is covered in gunk and it's "leaking" everywhere, onto her jacket etc.

Is this an ear infection do you think? Should I take her to the urgent Dr or will she be okay to wait until tomorrow?]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:55:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20438&PID=476890&title=ear-infection#476890
