She made it 8 1/2 months without getting sick. Even when both her mom and dad were fighting colds, she managed to stay well, until this morning. It’s just a little cold, but she is pulling on her ear a bit. The nurse side of me says don’t bother with going to the doctor, this too will pass, but the mom in me says just make sure. I think we will wait a bit longer and see if she gets worse or better. It’s just so sad to see her not feeling well. I want so much to make it all better for her.
Hi! My name is Kristy and this is my outlet to share thoughts on motherhood, infertility and life as I know it. To give you some insight into me, I've been married for over eight years to this guy, recently worked at a fertility clinic as a nurse practitioner before becoming a full-time mommy in July 2007. Please don't be a stranger. I'd love to hear from you! |

Oh no! I’m so sorry! I hope she feels better soon! And you definitely don’t want it to turn to an ear infection so don’t wait too long to get her to the doc. The only good thing about an ear infection is the antibiotics can knock it out super quick.
hmmm, i know here they do the “wait and see” thing w/ ear infections. my ped. won’t even prescribe antibiotics unless the child has beed sick w fever for more than 10 days. its a good and bad thing…
hope she feels better soon i’ll be praying for you both. i know how nerve wracking it is when your baby is sick. it’s helpless feeling….
p.s. remember when they are teething even though every book says it’s not so, they DO get cold like sx and they can have referred pain from the tooth and pull on their ears b-cause of that:)
Irelyn did that when she was teething. And I know you know the doc won’t give you antibiotics. None of the pedi drs I know here are doing antibiotics for ears now. I have tried the similson (sp) and it seemed to ease b4. Good luck and hope she feels better soon. I know you just want to do anything to make them feel better.
Poor Savannah! Madilyn just had her first real cold (runny nose and all) a couple of weeks ago. I waited three days then took her to the doctor because she was still coughing pretty bad at night and in the morning. but he just said she had a cold — nothing you can do other than humidifier and little noses saline …
