This is our first double ear infection and honestly it's scaring the crap out of me. The past 2 nights she's been up every hour. Will only sleep ON me. Will not go to DH...she only wants me. We've been taking turns getting up with her (before she comes into our room) and both nights when DH checked her, she had a fever over 104. This morning (around 130) it was 104.8.
She's not eating, barely drinking anything.
This morning she slept on me from 4 - 830 and I was the one who had to get up. She did eat half of a little waffle and that's all she's had all day. Started fussing to go to sleep around 930 and didn't get up until 12ish? Went in there and she didn't want to be put down so I rocked her for about 30 min. She passed out. I put her back down and she slept for another half hour. Came down stairs and had her in my lap. She leaned over and put her head on my arm and passed out. She has NEVER done that.
I picked her up and held her and let her sleep for awhile and figured I may as well go lay her down. She's been napping in her crib since.
This is only her second day on her meds but this is so unlike anything we've ever experienced. Is all this normal for bad ear infections? I feel like I should be rushing her to the hospital or something.
Wow this got long...sorry.
Re: is this normal for ear infections???
Oh southern, I'm so sorry she is feeling so crummy.
I'd give the doc a call and just touch base with them on what she's dealing with. ds would not lay down when he had a ear infection and he just screamed and screamed. It was horrible.
I hope she feels better soon, especially with her party coming up!!!!!!!
