That's good, give her some Pamol before bed tonight, it will help her settle. When Briona got ear infection she was prescribed a pain reliever as well as antibiotics.]]> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 13:44:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94843&title=ear-infection#94843 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Oh yeah, I&#039;m definitely taking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94827&title=ear-infection#94827 Author: nikkitheknitter

Oh yeah, I'm definitely taking her to the doctor. Just whether it is in the next hour or tomorrow. But I think she'll be fine until the morning and the receptionist is really good at giving babies priority appointments.]]> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 11:52:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94827&title=ear-infection#94827 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Nikki I would still take her to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94821&title=ear-infection#94821 Author: mummy_becks

Nikki I would still take her to the dr at least tomorrow then. If she has an ear infection it is best to get the anitboitics for it. Having a child that had them very often they can lead to hearing loss, which he had for a bit before he got his grommets.]]> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 10:41:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94821&title=ear-infection#94821 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Oops... yeah got confused.

Oops... yeah got confused. It's $60 or something for me. But still $25!!!

Anyway, gave her pamol last night. She seems fine. Not running a temp this morning and is in high spirits]]> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 09:10:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94816&title=ear-infection#94816 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Ellen, it&#039;s only $25 - sorry...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94767&title=ear-infection#94767 Author: meow

Some kids get high temps when they are sick, but it is apparently just as common to get low temps - which is what my kids get. But I don't think my girls had temperatures with their recent infections.

Anyway I came back on here cause I remembered something. The best thing Hannah can do to relieve her own symptoms is to blow her nose. I hear you laugh already, but if you can possibly teach her to blow (instead of sniff!) it will help ease the discomfort/pain.]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 15:29:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94757&title=ear-infection#94757 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : far out after hours here is $5...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94753&title=ear-infection#94753 Author: EllenMumof2

far out after hours here is $5 for under six and $10 for 6-16years come to wanganui lol. Geting back to the point thats how we found out Madison had a ear infection a couple of weeeks madison was really grizzly and i thought she is teething but than she woke up crying and i noticed stuff coming out of her ears and took her to after hours and thats what she had a ear infection. I so hear you on the money side i still can't believe you have to pay $50 dollars

does she have a high temp? my boys have never had an ear infection (touch wood), but the kid down the road seems to have them every second bloody week. he always looks snotty too if that helps.]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 14:35:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94751&title=ear-infection#94751 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : Sounds like ear infection to me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94749&title=ear-infection#94749 Author: busymum

Sounds like ear infection to me too. You should get her some antibiotics (yep via the Docs) before it creates worse problems for ya. Yep it sure will affect her sleep, it will be more comfy for her to lie on her tummy or anything not quite flat.]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 14:29:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94749&title=ear-infection#94749 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : It&#039;s $25 at the afterhours...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94732&title=ear-infection#94732 Author: meow

It's $25 at the afterhours in Newtown.

Um if she has stuff coming out then yes I would be inclinded to say ear infection. Having a 2 year old that has them all the time they aren't nice. If she is pulling on her ear then that is another sign of an ear infection. Best to get it cleared now.]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 13:09:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94730&title=ear-infection#94730 <![CDATA[Ear infection? : As you call may have figured out......]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94725&title=ear-infection#94725 Author: nikkitheknitter

As you call may have figured out... my diagnostic skills are absolutely spot on... NOT.

Anyway, Hannah has been sleeping terribly... worse than usual (which is near bloody impossible) and has been getting really upset. I thought it was just because I was trying to get her to sleep in her own bed... but then this morning I noticed one of her ears was full of "stuff" and when I tried to clean it she got quite pissed off as if it really hurt her. (So yeah, more pissed off than usual when I try and shove a tissue in her ear to clean it out)

So then I started thinking... ear infection. Does that sound right?!?

And to risk sounding like a terrible mother... should I take her to the doctor immediately? After hours costs about $50 and I just don't have that money lying around. I can get it of course, but if it isn't urgent then I will wait until first thing Monday morning. I hate these dilemmas! I always feel so guilty for not seeking help straight away for my little toddly. Maybe I should ring healthline... ?

HELP!]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 12:43:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=94725&title=ear-infection#94725
