Refusing to eat

Soon2BMRS615

LO is 8 months old today.  He has been on antibiotics for an ear infection for 9 days now (thankfully tomorrow will be done!)  For the past week or so, he has been refusing to eat pretty much anything.  He won't nurse (and is biting when I try), won't take a bottle unless he is starving.....maybe 3 or 4 oz at a time, and won't eat his solids either.  I am hoping it is either the antibiotic or that he is getting his 2 top teeth.  

Just wondering if anybody had any advice or could commiserate!

My LO is going through the same thing.  I've been told with an ear infection it is painful for them to suck/swallow so that is why they do not eat as much.  I'm not too familiar with this but I would think its concerning if your LO is still not eating well since he is almost done with the antibiotic.  My LO has had 2 ear infections previously that were not healed with the original antibiotics, so we had to go back for a stronger antibiotic.  I would have your pedi double check the ear to make sure its healed all the way.
